Evenlode

The parish of Evenlode sits in the northern reaches of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire in England, tucked into the rolling limestone hills and valleys typical of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It takes its name from the nearby River Evenlode, and the landscape is a patchwork of pasture, hedgerows and small woodlands punctuated by honey‑coloured stone houses, farmsteads and small lanes.

Historically rooted in medieval agriculture, Evenlode retains a compact, village atmosphere with a handful of historic buildings and a largely rural economy centred on farming, conservation and rural services; many residents travel to nearby market towns such as Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold for shops and schools. Its quiet charm attracts walkers and visitors seeking classic Cotswold scenery, while conservation designations and rising property values shape local life and help preserve the parish’s character.
