Show more "Woodchester Valley Retirement Village is a mutually owned village, run on behalf of the residents, for the residents' benefit . Nestled in a peaceful verdant Cotswold valley, it is laid out like a typical Gloucestershire village, with a real community feel. Our residents not only own long leases on their own homes, but as a community they own the freehold of the whole place, so they have input into how the village is run. The village is situated between the market towns of Stroud and Nailsworth - both only a short drive or bus ride away. The railway station,about 1.5 hours from London, is in Stroud."
