Rodborough Fort is a historical landmark perched ontop of Rodborough Hill near Stroud. Its hilltop vantage point meant it played a vital rote in strategic defence during different periods of history. You can read about the fort at its location and learn more about its fascinating past.

The fort is privately owned and not open to visitors. Nevertheless, the trip is worth it, especially for the magnificent views over Stroud to the Severn.
