Longborough is a small village set in the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswold area of Gloucestershire, England. It retains the honey‑coloured stone cottages and narrow lanes typical of the region and sits among farmland and walking country, with market towns such as Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden within easy reach.
Despite its modest size, Longborough punches above its weight culturally thanks to an annual opera festival held on the estate, which has built a reputation for ambitious productions. The local economy is largely rural and tourism‑oriented, with nearby attractions such as the Mughal‑influenced house at Sezincote and the famous gardens at Hidcote drawing visitors, while a close‑knit village community maintains traditional events and facilities.
