Ten miles west of Cirencester, Stroud is at the centre of the Five Valleys and at the edge of the
Cotswolds. Here, the steeply wooded valleys wind their way back into the limestone of the Cotswold
escarpment, providing unexpected views and woodland walks. The familiar Cotswold landscape of
stone walls, rolling farmland and villages of golden stone gives way to the exhilarating high commons
of Minchinhampton, Rodborough and Selsley, with views across the Severn to the Forest of Dean and
the Welsh mountains beyond, while the valleys hide lakes and beech woods. Not surprising that this
is known as the ‘undiscovered Cotswolds’.
Five self-catering cottages in and around the pretty Cotswold village of Eastcombe, overlooking the
Toadsmoor Valley.
