Blockley is a picturesque village and civil parish in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, in rural England. Set among the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is noted for its honey‑coloured Cotswold stone cottages, a compact historic centre and lanes that make it popular with walkers and visitors seeking a traditional village atmosphere.
Historically a farming community with links to local wool and stone industries, Blockley was for centuries associated administratively with neighbouring Worcestershire before being brought into Gloucestershire in the 20th century. Today the village mixes agriculture, tourism and local services, and retains a strong sense of community centred on its parish church, village hall and pubs; it lies within easy reach of market towns such as Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold.
