Cranham has an active village community with community owned pub, cricket club, tennis club and village hall and school with extensive walks on the doorstep.

Cranham is an archetypal Cotswold village set in a spectacular wooded valley. The village is surrounded by stunning countryside with numerous public footpaths and bridleways to explore. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the private and state sector. Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham all have sought after grammar schools and Cranham has a popular primary school. Nearby Painswick, often referred to as the 'queen of the Cotswolds' has excellent amenities with a stylish boutique hotel, several pubs and independent restaurant. There is also a popular 18 hole golf course on the Painswick Beacon. There are three major supermarkets in Stroud including Waitrose and superb shopping in Cheltenham. The location offers the best of both worlds; a rural haven, yet still within easy reach of local business and shopping centres, including Cheltenham, Stroud and Gloucester. London is circa 90 minutes from nearby Stroud Station. Junction 12a of the M5 motorway is approximately 10 minutes drive away.
