Have you ever been to Stroud? It's a fascinating place and hopefully you enjoy exploring it as much as we did!

Dear Robin, when I left Stroud in the early eighties for the RAF, I never realised that I´d left for good. It is nice to see my old town again and I will visit in the future. My partner tells me that when I speak of my childhood there, my eves light up with all of the wonder that a young lad, who was in love with the village, the common, the wonderful winding lanes, heady summers... I promised her that I will take her to experience all of the above and your series is the perfect prelude to such a journey. Many thanks from Berlin Larry

Stroud has always been my town, always will be. The town you grew up in is the town you really should like.

Stroud! One of my favourite places I visit about once a month.

Thank you Robin......I’ve only just discovered you, and I’m absolutely loving exploring (and cooking!) with you. I haven’t been to Stroud, so I shall look forward to visiting it under your expert guidance!

I grew up in the far South East, but by chance ended up in a village outside Stroud. I just love its unpretentious nature. I have been here nearly forty years now and my roots go down very deep. The countryside is beautiful.

I spent 10 happy years working in Stroud and got to know the area and the people pretty well. Your view of the area's 'individuality' is absolutely spot on and your lovely film makes me want to go back and have another look, once the current pandemic crisis is over. Thank you.

Hello sir, your channel is expanding and showing us a beautiful area that is just delightful and exciting looking forward to the sequel Thank you! 🇬🇧

wonderful program

I used to live in Bristol, moved to the Midlands so when I returned to see my daughter in Bath, I took a short cut off the motorway and drove through Stroud. I believe their is a spiritual order on the way, that sells delightful mead.

My maternal family is from Stroud and I've never had the opportunity to visit, so thank you for this tour.

Dear Robin, I am going to watch your performance with my granddaughter Luba.Thank you.🇷🇺

Greetings from Canada. Charming town. Thanks for all your posts!

A superb series! I‘m planning a holiday in the Cotswolds for H2 next year when I hope the plague will be mostly history. Living in Switzerland is great but sometimes I miss the green English countryside, pubs, antique shops and the people 😊 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Enjoying the show and love hearing more about these beautiful places

Very interesting Robin. Thanks for another great video. Stay safe Bob

Looking forward to exploring the town of Stroud in The Cotswolds later today!

As usual an excellent informative video, comfort on a dull, Covid 19 November evening circa '2020. Thank you. Will certainly visit Stroud ......... ( once Boris allows) ..........

This channel came randomly to my selection and I became fan of yours, Well one day after my retirement I would also love to read literature and travel through. I really love your accent, I would like to know about your accent What kind of accident is this? posh RP or any other

Pleasure

England is full of charming places ! Great introduction and great videos ! Wish that I could visit one day.

Sysum's Barbers has an original poster on the wall advertising The Beatles performance in the Subscription Rooms. It can be seen on Google Street View.

Lovely appraisal of the town I now live in

Great tour😎

This place is my hometown. I've lived my whole life here. ^_^ It's actually the quaint little town that Wilbert Awdry, creator of The Railway Series (known more by it's TV adaptation; Thomas & Friends) lived the last portion of his life. One of the stories, Train Stops Play, is even based on something that happened in Stroud.

I love this town ❤

Thank you for posting. Really interesting. I'm going to post a video soon on the Laurie Lee walk in Slad

Stroud is the first town in England to adopt a local initiative to move away from Globalist centralization _ adapted from One Small Town concept devised by Michael Tellinger, Stroud is moving forward as a community with One Free Town _ may it flourish and prosper!

I have lived in Stroud the majority of my life, and I never even knew how important Stroud was to the military and the general history of the area

The bread donkey boy is about the same age my partners grandad would have been & both lived in chalford. Cant yet find out who he was. My partners great grand parents had the stirrup cup in chalford, the pub. Mike oldfield lived up the road from there Bisley way. I just love the Cotswolds & the history & people are nicer here. Kids can leave toys outside , noone steals them & people put things where ypu can see them if youve lost something. Much more community spirit here. More than ive seen anywhere in the country so far & ive moved around a lot! Have so many stories about the cotswolds thanks to my partner & his family. Its so interesting. His great great grandad & other family members did the wood work in some local churches like Bisley i think & others & the roofs pews etc.beatiful work! Funny thete are 2 great carpenters in his family now.

4:44 Ooh! Ooh! That cream-coloured shop with the blue van in front is a really nice bakery. They make great breads and cakes. I always go for the bags of small rolls, a cottage loaf and any of the square cakes. Those come in chocolate, lemon and "party" variants. Not a fan of the flapjacks though as those tend to be gritty. :/

U r fantastic.....

Nice.Thanks Robin.🇷🇺

Great video. Thank you. : ))

I’m Mexican (or at least I thought I was) and I got a direct ancestor from the 1600s from here

The Beatles definitely did perform there, I saw them.

I will always remember Stroud as being the place where Wilbert Awdry the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine was born.

I would like to hear or see more about the village's history.

Brilliant video my good fellow .I live not to far from Stroud .New sub from me take care .

My grandad has lived in stroud all his life and my cousins live in stroud as well

Hello pre COVID I was checking out You tube and got hooked on the canals trust's vid on the restorations. One of the Vid's has us now heading to Stroud next year, I had identified a pub on a recently restored canal but I'm having a hard time finding it again. Any suggestions?

Beautiful place with stunning natural beauty but seems like ghost town due to absence of people around

Not me living there and complaining about it then seeing all the comments saying they love it. LOL

Hi. How are you? ~ Since Corona, ordinary daily life is more precious than ever. Now that it's winter, I hope there's no more damage.

Interesting

💜

My children are related to the De la Strodes that came over in the Norman Conquest. Is the town related to the Norman Conquest De la Strodes or Strouds?

Pity nothing about Slad and Laurie Lee

Stroud now has too much traffic . Its all up hill to get to shops .too many charity' shops there or expensive shops.more bother than its worth. Best thing is selsley common on the way out.

Страуд город графство Глостершир юго-запад Англия.🇬🇧

please shoot a video with subtitles in Russian.

Why am I watching this if I live in Gloucester

Come On! You can do better than this. You have barely scratched the surface. Just research one modest area: Minchinhampton Common and you will find the presence of William the Conqueror's daughter and other royalty. Even today Princess Anne lives nearby. And on and on.
