Run by the same family team for many years the Clothiers is a cracking pub: good food, a wide selection of beers, including local Stroud Brewery, a fire place in the winter and a large terraced garden in the warmer months (from where you can watch the sunset), including a play area.
It's about a 10 minute walk from 5VA according to google, along the canal and right at the first bridge. The walk up the lane to the pub is uneven, so go carefully.
