One of the best things about Stroud is its location – surrounded by beautiful countryside this makes it an excellent base for walkers and nature lovers – now is a great time to stroll around the beautiful countryside as it comes into bloom, or why not head to Slimbridge the Wildfowl and Wetland trust and see the new baby birds this Spring?
Another thing that attracts many people to the area is the farmers market held on a Saturday – this is huge and the streets are lined with stalls that are full to the brim with local produce. It is a great place to get some treats, whether it is home made cakes, local honey, or some hand made fresh bread.
