A woollen cloth-making centre since medieval times, Stroud occupies the Five Valleys at the western escarpment of the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire. Around 13,500 people live in the town today.
The Sunday Times named Stroud the best place to live in the United Kingdom in 2021, citing its independent spirit and school provision. North Woodchester is one of the district's most school-competitive corners, and Eastcombe draws families seeking strong state primary catchments. Paganhill, Amberley, and Nailsworth extend the residential offer across the valley slopes, while Stroud station sits on the Golden Valley Line with trains reaching Gloucester in under twenty minutes and Bristol Temple Meads in around fifty.
