Whiteway is a small hillside settlement just above the market town of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds and overlooking the wooded Stroud valleys. The area forms part of the wider Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is popular for walks, views and its proximity to the artisan and food scene in Stroud.
What makes Whiteway distinctive is its history as an intentional community - often referred to locally as the Whiteway Colony - founded in the late 19th century with Tolstoyan and communal ideals, which has given the place a long-standing countercultural and community-minded reputation. Today it’s a mixture of private homes and collaborative projects, with an emphasis on independent crafts, small businesses and a strong local social network rather than a conventional suburban development.
