Stonehouse is a small town and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds and in the low-lying Stroud Valleys beside the River Frome. Its position between the hills and the main road and rail links has made it both a traditional local centre and a convenient commuter base for nearby Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol.
Historically the town grew from mills and Victorian-era engineering and retains visible industrial heritage, with several former mill buildings re-used for housing and small firms. Today Stonehouse combines a quiet residential feel with local shops, pubs and community activities and benefits from easy access to the countryside and to the wider cultural life of Stroud and the surrounding area.
