The Stroud Valleys are well known for their beautiful views – and some of the most breathtaking can be found at nearby Whiteshill, which stands right on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. Many of the houses offer stunning, far-reaching views down across the lush green swathe of the Painswick and Slad valleys or towards the lovely neighbouring village of Ruscombe and the distant hump of Frocester Hill. Unlike many villages in the area, Whiteshill did not grow up around a medieval heart, but started as clusters of cottages which were built around the springs or wells dotted around the hillside. It has a very vibrant community with a volunteer-run village shop, playing fields, a church, village hall, scout hut, school and The Star Inn at the heart of the modern-day community. There are some beautiful rambles to enjoy, including the Diamond Jubilee Circular Walk, which links Whiteshill and Ruscombe, following ancient pathways through fields and woodland. Be prepared for hills though - the countryside is far from flat, with a height difference of more than 152m from the lowest point in the parish to the highest. The village is close to Stroud, which has a direct train link to London and an award-winning farmers’ market, while Gloucester and Cheltenham are both within comfortable driving distance.
