NAILSWORTH
Lying within the Stroud Valley and dating back to the 12th century, Nailsworth has become part of the Cotswold tourist trail, though visitors attracted to its past may find its locals live very much in the present.

MINCHINHAMPTON
Four miles south of Stroud, but a world away from the tourist trail, Minchinhampton is quieter than many of the Cotswold towns. Its outstanding features include the Market House with its stone columns, and a church with a crown-topped spire, while the town’s independent shops, such as the butcher’s and upmarket bridal boutique, have gained it renown beyond the region.
