Known for

The Saturday market (the finest farmers' market in England by many accounts), the independent food scene, the arts and craft culture, the Stroud Valleys, and a Gloucestershire town of extraordinary independent spirit

A little history

Stroud grew as a cloth-making centre in the Stroud Valleys. The town has reinvented itself as a hub of independent businesses, arts and sustainable living. The Saturday market — run with extraordinary care and quality — has been called the finest farmers' market in England. Laurie Lee grew up in the Slad Valley above Stroud.

📍 Local tip

The Saturday market is genuinely outstanding — one of England's great food market experiences. The Shambles arts centre. The Stroud Valleys walking — the Slad Valley (Laurie Lee country) is beautiful.
