If you are looking for a place to spend your vacation, come to Stroud, a small town of England. The town is beautiful with hills around it. You may enjoy your vacation here because it's very interesting.
There is a nice town center. It’s safe for people to walk around because no one can drive on most of the streets. The town center has some common shops, like a butcher’s, a cake shop and a clothes shop. There are some shops that I call “dangerous” because it’s easy to spend lots of money on them! In fact, these shops are wonderful places to find gifts. The best one is called Seren. It sells handmade things from all over the world.
Maybe the best thing about the town is that there’s a market on Saturday mornings. The market is in the town center. The market is always popular, and it is a great place to meet friends. People sell food, drinks and handicrafts (手工艺品) at the market. There are people playing music. I always have breakfast with friends there.
