Eastington is well known locally for its friendly community with schooling, pubs, a shop, a village hall, hairdressers and brilliant walks close by. Nearby Stonehouse has seen many changes over the years, and considerable growth, but remains a friendly little town with a big heart and a proud community spirit. It is a great place to live, with a wide range of housing, a direct railway line to London, primary and secondary schools and a location just 2.5 miles from the M5 motorway. Stonehouse has all the facilities one would expect of a small town, including a GP surgery, Co-op, three playing fields, pubs and a bustling High Street with independent shops, restaurants and cafes. The town is also the location for Wycliffe College, a private school with boarding facilities. But in keeping with the rest of the Stroud area, residents are never far from stunning scenery. The Stroudwater Canal runs through Stonehouse and the town is also on the doorstep of beautiful Doverow Hill and a lovely cycle trail which runs to Nailsworth. There has been large scale building to the west with the creation of a major new housing estate and school at Great Oldbury, near the motorway.
