Ampney Crucis is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the little Ampney Brook a few miles east of Cirencester. It is one of the group of settlements known as the Ampneys, set among the honey‑coloured limestone hills and meadows that characterise the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village retains a distinctly rural, historic feel, with traditional Cotswold stone cottages and a medieval parish church that give a clear sense of its long agricultural past. Today the local economy is largely small‑scale farming and rural services, while its tranquillity, walking country lanes and heritage buildings make it popular with day visitors and commuters seeking village life within easy reach of larger towns. Community life revolves around parish events and the shared upkeep of the village’s built and natural environment.
