Uplands is an area of Stroud that really does offer the best of both worlds. The Slad Road, which cuts through the heart of the area, takes you in a few minutes into the heart of Stroud town or, the other way, to the breath-taking beauty of the Slad Valley. Although set right on the edge of the town, Uplands has its own strong community identity – with a well-established primary school, handsome stone church, post office, convenience stores, pub and elderly day care centre. Uplands also has a lovely playing field with allotments and a park. Stroud’s industrial past is evinced by the Slad Brook, which tumbles and rushes its way through Uplands, past Slad Mill, converted into flats, and the site of what was Little Mill, now modern housing. The nearby town of Stroud has a full range of amenities, including a leisure centre, cinema, library, museum, hospital and many shops and eateries. The town also hosts an award-winning weekly farmers’ market and is on the direct train line to London. For those seeking to get away from it all, there are beautiful countryside walks and a tiny, charming pub in nearby Slad, the Cotswold village immortalised by Laurie Lee in his famous book Cider With Rosie. Uplands is also well positioned for easy access to Cirencester, Cheltenham, Swindon, Bristol and Bath.
