'''Slad''' is a [[village]] in [[Gloucestershire]], [[England]], located in the Slad Valley, about 2 [[mile]]s from the [[town]] of [[Stroud, Gloucestershire|Stroud]].
Slad is famous for being the home of [[Laurie Lee]], who based his book ''[[Cider with Rosie]]'' on his own life in the village.
The village lies in the rolling hills of the [[Cotswolds]], and is built principally on the B4070 road from Stroud to [[Birdlip]], which is halfway up one side of Slad Valley. The Slad Brook runs along the bottom of the valley. There is a small [[parish church]] in the village, and a small traditional [[pub]], the Woolpack.
