Bourton Village is the electoral ward centred on the well‑known village of Bourton‑on‑the‑Water in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It sits in the shallow valley of the River Windrush, framed by honey‑coloured Cotswold limestone and rolling AONB countryside, and is instantly recognisable for its low stone bridges, village green and the compact, tourist‑friendly centre.
Historically shaped by the medieval wool trade, the ward today has an economy dominated by tourism and small independent businesses - tearooms, craft shops and museums - which bring seasonal bustle as well as local employment. Community life revolves around village events, a village hall and conservation concerns typical of popular rural places, such as parking, visitor pressure and the balance between local needs and the tourist trade.
