Meysey Hampton is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set in rolling limestone countryside close to the county boundary with Wiltshire and within easy reach of the market towns of Fairford and Lechlade. Its quiet lanes and honey‑coloured stone cottages give it a classic Cotswold feel, with surrounding pastures and footpaths popular with walkers.
The village centre retains a tangible sense of history, with a parish church of medieval origin and a tight‑knit community that runs a village hall, local events and small‑scale activities. Economically it remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns, and there is an emphasis on conservation and maintaining the historic character that attracts visitors who prefer a tranquil rural lifestyle.
