Stroud Waters Project – A Natural Swimming Haven in Gloucestershire
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of King’s Stanley, Stroud, Court Farm is set to become the home of an ambitious and innovative project—the Stroud Waters Project. Designed to bring a safe, natural, and bio-filtered outdoor community pool to the area, this initiative aims to provide locals with year-round access to clean, chemical-free swimming waters.
The project is spearheaded by Community Waters, a pioneering community interest company dedicated to expanding open water access across the UK.

The community’s response has been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting a growing enthusiasm for the benefits of outdoor swimming. The project team is particularly eager to ensure the facility is accessible to all, including families, individuals with additional needs, and those facing financial hardship through social prescribing initiatives.
The next crucial step for the Stroud Waters Project is a feasibility study on Court Farm, which will provide key data for a pre-application planning consultation with Stroud District Council.
