It's with good reason that Stroud was voted ‘Best place to live in the UK 2021’ by The Sunday Times. Sitting at the point at which five valleys converge, and surrounded by rolling hills within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Stroud is a small town with a huge heart, which has captured the imagination of many over the years. There’s plenty to see and do - Stroud has a great variety of shops, cafes, pubs and amenities, including a busy leisure centre, library, museum and award-winning weekly farmers’ market. Many of Stroud’s shops are independent and family-run. More recent development has seen the relaunch of the Five Valleys shopping centre and the town also has a cinema, ten-pin bowling and a central gym. Stroud has a proud, thriving local community, one steeped in music, art, creativity and environmental issues. There is a wealth of countryside on the doorstep, including three beautiful commons, as well as walks along the historic canal and River Frome. Parents can take their pick from a range of good schools, including a comprehensive and two grammar schools, and there is also a college of further and higher education. Stroud is also superbly placed for access to the M5 and has a direct line train service to London.
