1. Museum in the Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 230 reviews
The Museum in the Park is set in the beautiful grounds of Stratford Park in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Situated in a Grade II listed 17th Century wool merchant’s house; our collection tells the fascinating story of the Stroud District’s rich and diverse history. With over 4,000 objects on display, including dinosaur bones, historical paintings and even one of the world’s first lawnmowers, there is something to spark the interest of all of our visitors! In addition to the main displays in the mansion house, we have our modern extension which houses a small gift shop and café area, alongside a modern, purpose-built art gallery showing a varied programme of exhibitions. Behind this is Stroud’s ‘secret garden’ - a contemporary Walled Garden that will amaze and may well cause you to say 'wow'!

We read about a craft fair being held in Stratford Park so decided to pay them a visit a good job we did as we came across the museum. When we went in it was absolutely magic and as we are in our 60s it brought back a lot of memories, well worth a visit. There is a lift which was very handy as I am partially disabled and struggle with stairs, on certain days there is a pop up cafe in the garden and can be accessed via a gentle winding ramp.

Lovely walk round the grounds with the family. Way walking but a bit muddy at times. The odd rope swing and seesaw to keep the children happy

My wife and I ate here last saturday evening. A very good experience. Covid safe , plenty of space between tables , hand sanitiser ,staff wearing visors so we could see their faces. I had crab tagliatelle , it was superb , piping hot and full of flavour . Followed by pork belly again very tasty and melt in your mouth .My wife had pork cheek followed by breast of chicken with confit potato again excellent quality. The service was friendly and no delay between courses. One of the best meals we have had for a long time , no problems recommending the Bell and we look forward to returning soon

9. Gallery Pangolin
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Gallery Pangolin is a 'must-see' on any tour of the Cotswolds. Tucked away in the village of Chalford on the slopes of the escarpment is one of Gloucestershire's best-kept secrets. On what was once a Victorian industrial site at the heart of the Golden Valley, Gallery Pangolin is one of the few galleries to specialise in sculpture and related drawings and is open to visitors 6 days a week. We are located on Chalford Industrial Estate on the A419 in between Stroud and Cirencester.
