Barrington is a small, predominantly rural parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set amid the rolling, honey‑coloured limestone countryside that characterises the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement is compact and traditionally agricultural, with stone cottages and farm buildings showing the region’s vernacular architecture and a conservation‑minded feel that attracts walkers and people seeking a quieter rural pace.
Locally notable is the presence of a country estate and parkland, often referred to as Barrington Park, which gives the parish a touch of historic continuity and landscape interest. Economically life is a mix of small‑scale farming, rural businesses and tourism - visitors come for the scenery and proximity to other Cotswold towns - while community life remains centred on village institutions and occasional local events rather than heavy industry.
