Brimscombe and Thrupp are neighbouring villages just east of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, tucked into the wooded slopes at the edge of the Cotswolds. They sit beside the historic line of the Thames and Severn Canal and the Stroudwater Navigation, with the old industrial basin around Brimscombe Port forming a striking river‑valley focus.
The area grew up in the 18th–19th centuries as a cluster of mills and canal trade and now mixes heritage conversions with small creative firms, light industry and commuters. Ongoing canal restoration and regeneration projects have given the villages a renewed cultural and economic buzz, while local clubs, events and easy access to countryside walks keep a strong community feel.
