I must admit I took this a while ago, but this is the view that famous author Laurie Lee (Cider with Rosie) would have had from Swifts Hill just above his house.
It's a great view across his Slad Valley where he lived, over the town of Stroud and on over the River Severn. I must admit that this was one of the hardest climbs I have undertaken this year, but the view was ell worth the effort.
You can just make out The Black Mountains in Wales.
It is a glorious view - lovely countryside round Stroud. I used to visit Stonehouse on business and often took the scenic route back to avoid the motorway.
This is a lovely capture magnificent view across the Severn. Fav
