Kempsford is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, sitting on low-lying land close to the River Thames and between the market towns of Fairford and Lechlade. Its position at the southern edge of the Cotswolds means a mix of rolling limestone countryside and wetter floodplain, popular with walkers and nature-lovers who use local footpaths and river routes.
Locally the settlement retains a distinctly rural character, with a medieval parish church and a number of listed buildings reflecting a long history of farming and small-scale industry. The economy is still rooted in agriculture and market gardening, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Cirencester; socially the village centres on community organisations, the village hall and traditional village events that keep a strong local feel.
