Poole Keynes is a tiny, rural parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, tucked among rolling farmland and the patchwork of lakes that form part of the Cotswold Water Park. It sits close to neighbours like Somerford Keynes and Ashton Keynes and is within easy reach of Cirencester, with the upper reaches of the River Thames and quiet country lanes shaping much of its intimate, waterside character.
Historically an agricultural community with medieval roots, the village has a handful of historic buildings and several converted farmsteads; today it attracts walkers, birdwatchers and small numbers of watersports visitors while retaining a close‑knit, low‑density community feel. The economy remains largely rural with some commuters and leisure‑related activity from the nearby lakes, making it a peaceful spot prized for tranquillity and countryside access rather than commercial bustle.
