Saul is a small village in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, best known for Saul Junction where the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal meets the Stroudwater Navigation; that canal junction makes it a popular stopping point for narrowboats and a useful gateway into the Stroud Valleys and the Cotswolds.
Set in the low-lying Severn Vale and surrounded by farmland, the village retains a quiet, rural character shaped by agriculture and canal-related tourism; historically the waterways brought trade and industry in the 19th century, and today it attracts walkers, boaters and a small, close-knit local community.
