The town of Stroud is in a quieter part of the Cotswolds, and is the former centre of the area's woollen industry, tucked into the green hills which once housed countless sheep. Today, Stroud welcomes visitors to its cafes, quaint bookshops, independent shops and tempting eateries. Described by Jasper Conran as the ‘Covent Garden of the Cotswolds’, Stroud has a regular farmers' market, year-round programmes of music and theatre, a thriving arts scene and a state-of-the-art cinema. Head out of town to explore the five sweeping valleys which surround it, with country lanes just made for walking or cycling.
