Poulton is a small, stone-built village tucked into the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, a short distance south of the Roman market town of Cirencester. Its character is typically Cotswold - honey-coloured cottages, dry-stone walls and lanes that open onto pasture and beech-clad ridges within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Historically agricultural, Poulton still feels rural, with farming, equestrian activity and country tourism important to the local economy; it's also popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet village lifestyle while commuting to nearby towns. The settlement retains a close-knit community and much of its historic vernacular architecture, reflecting centuries of local continuity rather than rapid modern development.
