The small rural parish of Boxwell and Leighterton lies on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It occupies rolling limestone countryside typical of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with dry-stone walls, hedgerows and pockets of species-rich grassland that make it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
Historically centred on agriculture, the area remains largely pastoral with working farms, some equestrian activity and a scattering of traditional Cotswold stone cottages and farmsteads; a handful of historic buildings reflect centuries of rural life. The parish sustains a small, close-knit community and attracts visitors seeking tranquillity, local events and easy access to country lanes and footpaths rather than heavy commercial tourism.
