Donnington is a small rural parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, in England, set within the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement is made up of scattered farmsteads and honey‑coloured stone cottages, with a network of public footpaths and dry‑stone walls giving the landscape the classic Cotswold character.
Historically agricultural, Donnington retains a farming economy while seeing some diversification into holiday lets and commuter households serving nearby market towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. With a small, close‑knit population and limited services of its own, local life is often intertwined with neighbouring parishes, and the area is popular with walkers and those seeking quiet village life amid historic lanes and countryside.
