The Undiscovered Cotswolds

The Stroud Valleys lie on the western edge of the Cotswold Hills. There are five valleys and they converge on the historic town of Stroud. Stroud is the secret door to an area often called the ‘Undiscovered Cotswolds’.

This September we have a festival for each of the five valleys that together last the entire month. Your chance to enjoy and explore the undiscovered.

Between them, the festivals celebrate the very best things about this area of the Cotswolds. The creativity of its people, quality food and drink, its countryside and wildlife, great walking and environmental sustainability.
