About Stroud
Learn more about the host city, Stroud.
Stroud is at the heart of the Five Valleys in the Cotswolds. It is in Gloucestershire, England. There's many fine, beautiful and interesting things to see but it's not "pretty" in the way that similar sized towns in the Cotswolds or Gloucestershire are. It's a fairly "alternative" place with organic/biodynamic food and a long history of campaigning to save local facilities and landmarks.
