King's Stanley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, tucked against the western scarp of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It sits on the fringe of the Stroud Valleys and has the compact feel of a traditional Gloucestershire village, with stone cottages, a church, a village hall and a pub serving a mainly local community.
The area has the quiet legacy of the Stroud valley wool and cloth industry, with old mills and workers' housing nearby, but today the local economy mixes agriculture, small businesses and commuting to larger towns. It’s popular with walkers and those seeking rural views while remaining within easy reach of Stroud amenities, and community life is marked by village events and active local organisations.
