Stone is a small village in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the fringe of the Cotswolds. It has the feel of a traditional rural settlement with stone-built cottages, narrow lanes and ready access to rolling countryside, making it a quiet spot for walkers and anyone wanting to explore the nearby hills and valleys.
Historically rooted in agriculture, Stone today mixes local farming with a number of commuters and small businesses, and benefits culturally from proximity to the lively market towns and arts scene of Stroud and the surrounding Stroud valleys. Village life tends to centre on a handful of community institutions - pubs, village hall and clubs - while visitors use it as a peaceful base for walking, cycling and visiting the broader Cotswolds area.
