Selsley Common Millennium Stone

The landscape opens up here with sweeping views across the Severn Vale towards the Malvern Hills, and it's the kind of place that gives you a real sense of the scale of the region. A striking stone monument marks the turn of the millennium in 2000 and serves as a useful landmark and focal point for the space.

The common itself has been used for centuries. If you look carefully around the site, you can still make out the remnants of an Iron Age hill fort, which adds considerable historical depth to what you see today. It's an active place where you'll often spot people walking, flying kites, or simply enjoying the open air and the views.

Whether you're planning a gentle stroll to stretch your legs or a longer walk, there's plenty of room to explore. The parking nearby makes it an easy stop if you're passing through Stroud or visiting the smaller villages like Selsley itself. It's one of those locations where you can really feel the accumulated history of the landscape and understand how people have used this land across different periods.
