Plan your Forest Green Rovers away day
This is a rural away day rather than a city-centre trip. Nailsworth is the natural food-and-drink base, but every plan must account for the steep final mile and limited evening transport.

Nailsworth first
Use the town's food and pub choice, then allow generous time for the steep 1.1-mile walk.
Stay in the Stroud valleys
Choose Nailsworth for atmosphere or Stroud for rail, but pre-arrange evening transport.
A sensible 3pm plan
10:30-11:30 - reach Nailsworth or Stroud and check the return plan.
12:30 - park at Renishaw for a Saturday match, or start the uphill route from Nailsworth.
13:30-14:15 - use the mixed fan zone before entering the West Terrace.
17:00 - use the park-and-ride queue or the pre-arranged taxi; do not assume a late bus.
Food and pubs
The Forest Green map marks Nailsworth centre as the recommended area, the fan zone as mixed and the Green Man as home-only. There are no general amenities immediately outside the ground.
Things to do
Nailsworth's independent shops and valley setting reward an early arrival. Stroud Farmers' Market runs on Saturdays, while Woodchester Mansion and Rodborough Common need extra time and transport.
Hotels near the stadium
Egypt Mill Hotel and Wild Garlic Rooms are in Nailsworth, roughly a mile from the ground but still below the steep final approach.
Stroud and wider-area hotels
Premier Inn Stroud is practical for rail and town facilities. The Bear of Rodborough is a more rural option for drivers; neither removes the need for a matchday transport plan.
Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 13 September 2026.
