Chesterton is a rural electoral ward in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set within the characteristic honey‑coloured limestone landscape of the Cotswolds. The area is made up of small villages and hamlets with historic stone cottages and medieval churches; rolling pasture and dry stone walls give it a strongly pastoral character and several conservation and listed‑building designations reflect its architectural heritage.
Economically the ward remains rooted in agriculture but has seen a shift towards tourism and commuting to larger towns, with local services centred on village halls, parish churches and community-run events. Socially it tends to have a mix of long‑standing farming families and newer arrivals seeking rural life, and the setting makes it popular with walkers and those interested in traditional Cotswold culture.
