Coates is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the honey‑coloured limestone of the Cotswolds AONB. It lies a short drive from Cirencester, the old Roman town of Corinium, and the landscape around the village shows a long rural history in its field patterns, historic houses and lanes.

Life in Coates remains largely shaped by agriculture and country pursuits, with many people commuting to nearby towns while enjoying local community facilities such as the village hall and pub. The proximity of RAF Fairford brings occasional international attention - notably when the Royal International Air Tattoo is held - and the area’s quiet lanes and walks attract visitors looking for a more relaxed slice of Cotswold character.
