Bledington is a small village and civil parish in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set on gentle limestone downland and small streams within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The compact centre of honey‑coloured stone cottages clustered around a village green and meadows gives it a classically Cotswold character.
With medieval roots and a number of listed buildings, the parish has long been agricultural in character; today farming sits alongside some tourism and commuting. Local life remains active and social, marked by an ancient parish church, community-run events such as village festivals and open gardens, and the steady stewardship of traditional buildings and landscape.
