King Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5

In March 2021, The Sunday Times named Stroud the best place to live in the UK, citing the town's abundance of green spaces, independent spirit, and high-quality schools. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the beautiful Five Valleys, Stroud is brimming with independent shops, cafés, and galleries, as well as a cinema complex and an award-winning weekly farmers market. The Cotswold Way passes through Stroud, making it popular among walkers, as does the Stroudwater Canal. Overlooking the town, Rodborough, Minchinhampton, and Selsley Commons are enjoyed by walkers, horse-riders, paragliders, and anyone seeking locally-made Winstones ice cream. The town also benefits from excellent transport links, including a main railway station with regular services to London Paddington, bus station and Junction 13 of the M5 motorway, just five miles away.
