Located on the southern edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty above the Severn Vale, Rodborough sits adjacent to the market town of Stroud in Gloucestershire. The parish is notable for Rodborough Common, a sweeping area of open commonland popular with walkers for its wide views over the vale and the surrounding hills.
Historically tied to the woollen and textile trades of the Stroud valleys, the area now combines suburban neighbourhoods and village communities with working farms; there’s a lively local scene of pubs, clubs and community events that reflects the wider cultural and arts-minded character of the district, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
