Moreton-in-Marsh is a compact market town in the northern Cotswold hills of Gloucestershire, England, sited where the old Roman Fosse Way crosses the rolling sheep country. Its streets of honey-coloured limestone, coaching inns and period shopfronts give it a distinctly historic feel, and it still acts as a local service centre with a long‑running Tuesday market and regular agricultural activity.
Tourism and small‑scale retail are important to the local economy - antiques, cafes and B&Bs cater for visitors and walkers - and the town has good rail links on the Cotswold Line towards Oxford and Worcester. Nearby attractions such as Batsford Arboretum and Broadway Tower add to its appeal, while community life mixes long‑standing local traditions with a steady flow of commuters and country‑house owners.
