Situation
The Vatch is a sheltered hamlet on the lower slopes of Swifts Hill in the sought-after Slad Valley - famed for being the home of author Laurie Lee who wrote "Cider With Rosie" based on his childhood in the valley. Village life is focussed around the Parish Church and the highly regarded Woolpack public house whilst nearby Painswick and Stroud offer a range of shopping and recreational facilities. For lovers of the outdoors, the Swifts Hill Nature Reserve offers views to Wales on a clear day with the steep slopes criss-crossed by footpaths as well as being home to more than 130 species of wildflower including 13 different orchids. The surrounding towns provide a wide range of social and retail amenities to suit all tastes. Education options in the area are strong in both the private and state sectors with independent schools including Wycliffe College and Beaudesert Park Schools in Stroud, Kings School in Gloucester and Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College and Dean Close in Cheltenham whilst there are Grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
