Broughton Poggs

Straddling the border between Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, these two villages offer a genuine taste of rural Cotswold life well away from the main tourist circuits.

Filkins and Broughton Poggs were separate communities until they merged administratively in 1954, though each still maintains its own distinct character. With just over 400 residents, you'll experience the kind of quieter, more intimate atmosphere that lets the landscape and local buildings speak for themselves—the architecture and surrounding countryside tell the story of centuries of English village life. This is where to come if you want to experience the Cotswolds as they actually are rather than as a visitor attraction, with plenty of space to wander without crowds and a real sense of how people have lived and worked here over generations.
