This is a peaceful and understated corner of the Cotswolds, a small hamlet that offers a truly tranquil escape from the busier tourist trails.

You'll find it within the rolling landscape of Gloucestershire, characterized by open fields and gentle hills. It’s primarily a residential area, a place where local life unfolds at a steady pace, making it ideal if you're seeking a quiet base for exploring the wider region or simply want to unwind amidst the English countryside.

For visitors, the main appeal lies in its serene atmosphere and the opportunities for walks along local footpaths, taking in the views and observing the changing seasons. The hamlet has long served as a local meeting point, historically significant as a crossroads, which likely gave it its name. Today, that community spirit is often found at The Cross Keys, a traditional pub where you can enjoy a drink and soak in the local ambiance.

It’s conveniently located for exploring other small communities. You'll find Pamington and Aston on Carrant nearby, along with Kinsham, Teddington, Oxenton, and Fiddington, all offering their own quiet charms and country lanes to discover. Come here for a genuine taste of rural Cotswolds life, away from the crowds.
