Cainscross is a residential suburb on the southern edge of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the slopes above the Stroud valley. Its Victorian terraces and former millworkers' housing reflect the town's 19th‑century wool and textile heritage, while the higher ground gives pleasant views over the Severn Vale towards the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Today it feels like a close‑knit local community with small shops, pubs, schools and a community centre, alongside light commercial activity and commuters travelling into nearby towns. Local groups and sports clubs are active, and the mix of historic character with everyday amenities makes it a quietly well‑connected part of the Stroud area.
