Poulton is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, a few miles from the market town of Cirencester. Set on the honey‑coloured limestone hills and rolling valleys typical of the Cotswolds AONB, it offers classic stone cottages, arable and pasture landscape and wide rural views.
Historically shaped by medieval farming and the local wool trade, the village retains a compact core around its parish church and village hall with several listed buildings; community life centres on traditional events and local clubs. While agriculture remains important, the economy now combines farming with small‑scale tourism and commuting to nearby towns, giving Poulton a quiet, community‑minded feel that appeals to walkers and those seeking a classic Cotswold village experience.
