Former Midland Railway line linking Nailsworth and Stonehouse now a cycle track. The bridge is where the B4066 climbs towards Selsley.

Stroud view

General view of Stroud. The clump of buildings in the centre of the picture belong to Archway School. The pair of white lines looking like a giant rugby goal are chimney stacks belonging to the Millikan factory, a wool cloth mill. The hill in the background is Rodborough Hill.

Ebley Mill

Ebley mill is next to the Stroudwater canal. This particular bit of the mill is now a fitness club. The canal is being restored and excavated and this viewpoint will soon only be possible from a boat.

Selsley

The B4066 road rises through Selsley a bit too steeply for this cyclist. Randwick rises across the other side of the valley.

Peter Kwan

Dudbridge Cycle Track

The railway line ran between Dudbridge and Stroud and is viewed from the Dudbridge End. Nowadays it's the best made bit of cycle track in Stroud, it's a pity the access is by a flight of stairs. The road bridge carries traffic between Dudbridge Hill and Dudbridge.
