Stroud is a town and civil parish in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is the main town in Stroud District.

Situated below the western escarpment of the Cotswold Hills, at the meeting point of the Five Valleys, the town is noted for its steep streets and cafe culture. The Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounds the town in all directions, and the Cotswold Way path passes by it to the west.

Although not formally part of the town, the parishes of Rodborough and Cainscross lie adjacent to Stroud and are often considered part of it. The three parishes had a combined population of 23,644 at the time of the 2001 census.

  • People, please, do write constructive aspect of the towns. Let's be informative.
  • Thank you very much director. The good news is that I have just edited the description. I've seen more dumb comments: "An absolute dump" (Woking), "Even worse than Sheffield" (Doncaster), "populated by gypoes and inbreads" (Mansfield). I have been doing my best to report those comments and re-write those descriptions.
