The village of Cold Aston sits on the limestone plateau of the Cotswold hills in Gloucestershire, England. It is a compact, largely stone-built settlement of medieval origin, with honey-coloured cottages and a traditional parish church; the "Cold" element of its name reflects its exposed, upland situation. The settlement lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so rolling pastures, dry-stone walls and wide views are prominent features of the landscape.
Historically known as Aston Blank, the village has long been tied to agriculture, with small farms and sheep grazing shaping the local economy, while today rural tourism and residential life also contribute. Community life is typical of small Cotswold villages - quiet and close-knit, centred on the church and village gatherings rather than industry or large commercial centres.
