Stroud

Stroud is best known in England for its long-established wool and cloth-making industry. Set in the steep-sided valleys of Gloucestershire’s Cotswolds, the town follows the River Frome, whose water once powered a dense network of textile mills. Several former mill buildings remain part of the local townscape, recalling the trade that shaped Stroud’s growth from the 18th century onward. Today, independent shops, a well-known farmers’ market and an active arts scene give the centre a distinctly local character, while footpaths lead quickly into the surrounding Cotswold hills.
