Ampney St. Peter is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswolds district of Gloucestershire, England. It lies in the rolling limestone countryside typical of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is traversed by the small Ampney Brook, which contributes to the village's distinctly rural character.
The settlement is characterised by honey‑coloured Cotswold stone houses and a historic parish church with Norman and medieval fabric, reflecting a long agricultural past. Farming still underpins the local economy, though many residents commute to nearby Cirencester and other towns; socially it remains a small, close‑knit community that values local heritage and occasional village events.
