Ewen is a small hamlet in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set among the honey‑coloured limestone hills of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It comprises a handful of cottages and farms clustered along quiet lanes, with the surrounding landscape characterised by rolling pasture, drystone walls and the agricultural patterns that have shaped the area for centuries.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and shares the Cotswolds’ heritage of wool and farming, and today agriculture remains important alongside a modest mix of commuters, rural businesses and holiday lets. Local social life tends to centre on church and village events rather than extensive services, and conservation and tourism strongly influence the village’s character and planning priorities.
