Baked By Beth

You'll find the usual range of breads, cakes and pastries, all worth stopping in for whether you're after something to go with a morning coffee or a midday treat. There's genuine local craft at work here, and it's the kind of place where you can pick up provisions for a picnic or to take back to wherever you're staying.

Nailsworth itself is worth exploring properly. It's built a real reputation as an independent town with creative energy running through it, so you'll find plenty of character in the shops and cafes scattered around. The location works well for getting around too — Stroud is just down the road if you want to visit another Cotswolds town, and Tetbury is equally easy to reach. From here you can also head out into the valleys and countryside of the South Cotswolds without much effort. Stopping at Baked By Beth is a straightforward way to understand what makes Nailsworth special while you're in the area.
