Tucked away in the Gloucestershire part of the Cotswolds, this small residential area offers a true sense of rural calm.

It’s a hamlet, so you won’t find bustling shops or busy pubs directly within it. Instead, you'll discover a peaceful collection of homes, many built from the characteristic local limestone, reflecting the timeless appeal of the region. It's an ideal spot if you're looking to slow down and enjoy the quiet pace of countryside life.

The appeal here lies in its tranquil atmosphere and the opportunities for gentle strolls through the immediate surroundings. While it doesn't boast specific historical landmarks, its character is undoubtedly shaped by centuries of local life and agriculture, much like the wider Stroud Valleys area it sits within. For amenities or a wider choice of walks, you’re conveniently close to several villages. Kings Stanley and Leonard Stanley are just a short distance away, as are Selsley, North Woodchester, South Woodchester, and Lightpill, all offering local pubs, small shops, or access to different walking paths across the hills and valleys.
