| OS grid ref: | SO 85 06 |
The Stroud Uplands sits on the higher ground overlooking Stroud in Gloucestershire, edging towards the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The ward combines rolling downland, hedged fields and pockets of acid grassland with residential streets, offering wide views across the Severn Vale and easy access to hill‑top walks and commons.
Locally it shares in Stroud's strong creative and independent economy - a mix of small businesses, creative practitioners and commuters to Gloucester and Bristol - while traces of the region's textile and rural past remain in old stone walls, lanes and former mill sites. Community life tends to be active, with allotments, walking groups and village‑style events helping to preserve a semi‑rural character despite being close to the town.
