Stroud thrived on its woollen mills in the Industrial Revolution, some of which now open to visitors to enjoy guided tours. In Stroud, you will find an eclectic mix of galleries, cafes and shops – selling everything from fossils to fairies and vintage to vinyl – and one of the best Farmers’ Markets in the country.
