Cainscross is a civil parish on the southern edge of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the slopes that look down into the Stroud Valleys and close to the Cotswold Hills. Its elevated streets give pleasant views over the valley and there are pockets of green space and small local shops that underline its suburban, semi-rural character.
Historically the area shared in the 19th‑century woollen and textile economy of Stroud, and today it is largely residential with a mix of terraces, semis and post‑war housing, a steady local community and active parish groups. Proximity to Stroud means residents benefit from a lively arts and market culture while many commute to larger centres for work, so the parish blends working‑class roots with newer incomers.
