The village and civil parish of Rendcomb sits on the edge of the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswold escarpment in Gloucestershire, England, a few miles north‑west of Cirencester. It lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is characterised by honey‑coloured Cotswold stone buildings, pastureland and attractive rural views rather than any large commercial centre.
Historically a small agricultural community organised around a manor and parkland, the parish is best known locally for Rendcomb College, an independent school on the estate that provides a significant focal point and employment for the area. The village retains a quiet, community‑oriented feel with historic buildings and a parish church dating back several centuries, and many residents commute to nearby towns such as Cheltenham and Cirencester while enjoying strong ties to countryside conservation and recreation in the wider Cotswolds.
