Stroud to
Nailsworth
Brimming with independent shops, cafes,
galleries and a lovely museum, bohemian
Stroud is home to one of the best
farmers’ markets in the country and has
been described as ‘The Covent Garden
of the Cotswolds’. Here you will find an
eclectic mix of shops selling everything
from fossils to fairies and vintage to vinyl, sitting against the dramatic
backdrop of the beautiful Five Valleys. Stroud is known as a centre for
contemporary arts, as well as its canal, commons, woollen mill heritage
and colourful festivals.
You take the cycle-way to Nailsworth following the old railway line.
Nailsworth is a lively, artistic town nestling in a wooded valley and
renowned for its award-winning restaurants, pubs, cafes and other
food outlets including a celebrated local bakery (home to The
Fabulous Baker Brothers) and food emporium, as well as some lovely,
small independent shops. There is a mill trail and Nailsworth has
the largest number of working water wheels per square mile in the
country. Ruskin Mill (a centre for artistic activity) and the Stroudwater
textile Trust’s Weaving Shed at Gigg Mill are nearby. Close by is the
Nailsworth Ladder leading to National Trust common land and the
mysterious and haunted Woodchester Mansion.
