Stroud is an attractive Cotswolds town, where the local economy was traditionally centred on cloth manufacture. The town is situated on a steep sided hill, at the head of five valleys, making it a great base to explore the surrounding countryside. The cathedral city of Gloucester lies on the River Severn, near the Welsh border, which has made it an important strategic site since Roman times. With a multitude of historic buildings and museums, and one of the country’s loveliest cathedrals, it is well worth a visit.
