The Stroud District is situated in the South of the Cotswolds and has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.
As well as the Cotswold Way, snaking its way from the North to the South of the District, a number of circular walks have been created so any visitor to the area can enjoy the countryside.
This series of 44 walks will guide you through the steep wooded valleys of the Cotswolds escarpment, the rolling farmland on top of the scarp and down to the lush green meadows of the Severn Vale. Visit www.strollinginstroud.org to download walking routes.
