Facts and practical information

The Five Valleys are a group of valleys in Gloucestershire, England, which converge on the town of Stroud at the western edge of the Cotswolds. The Five Valleys are notable both for the landscape, which attracts visitors, and their role in industrial development of Britain starting with the wool trade in the 11th Century, and developing through cloth manufacturing in the 18th Century. Despite very poor roads, the use of the rivers and streams in developing links to other centres, via, for example the Kennet and Avon Canal, helped the Five Valleys to prosper. ()
