The Grumbolds Ash with Avening electoral ward sits in the southern Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It covers the village of Avening and surrounding hamlets such as Grumbolds Ash, set among the rolling limestone hills and valleys of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with honey‑coloured stone cottages, narrow lanes and patchwork fields giving it a distinctly rural character.
Historically tied to the broader Cotswold wool and cloth economy, the ward retains a strong village feel centred on a parish church, village hall and local pubs; today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The area is popular with walkers and nature lovers drawn to scenic footpaths and the tranquillity of the countryside, while a resilient community calendar of clubs and events keeps local life active.
