Brimscombe is a fascinating area of Stroud whose past and present is inextricably linked with the canal which cuts through it. A haven for wildlife and a popular spot for walkers, the canal is also the location of the trendy Stroud Brewery, renowned for its craft beers and pizzas. This area became the beating heart of the Stroud woollen trade and the site of a number of significant mills, many of which have survived and been adapted for other purposes. Brimscombe Port was a key transfer point for sea-going barges to narrow boats, accommodating 100 vessels at its height, as well as the site of several boat-building yards. The basin was filled in after the Second World War and the port later fell into disrepair. However, work is due to begin soon on transforming the site into a new waterside community, including more than 150 sustainable homes, with the restoration of the canal basin and the retention of heritage buildings. Today, Brimscombe and Thrupp are thriving and friendly communities with two primary schools, catchment for Thomas Keble school a popular pub, church and shops at Brimscombe Corner, including a general store. Other amenities in the area include an antiques emporium, paint and art shops, a fitness centre, Stroud Foot Clinic, the charming waterside Felt Café and the Long Table community canteen and restaurant. The larger town of Stroud, which has a direct rail link to London, supermarkets, cinema and a leisure centre is just down the road and can be accessed via the bus route (A419) or canal side walk.
