Cherington is a small, rural civil parish tucked into the honey‑coloured landscape of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It typifies the area with limestone cottages, rolling pasture and lanes, a compact settlement pattern and a quiet, agricultural feel; the surrounding countryside lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there is an emphasis on conservation and traditional building styles.
Historically the community has medieval roots and retains a village atmosphere with a small population, local events and a parish church at its heart; economically it remains largely tied to farming while many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Tetbury and Cirencester for work and services. The result is a close‑knit, conservation‑minded place that attracts walkers and those seeking a quintessential Cotswold village experience.
