South Cerney is a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, lying on the River Churn a few miles north‑east of Cirencester. It sits at the edge of the Cotswold Water Park, with numerous lakes and reservoirs that attract watersports enthusiasts and birdwatchers; the built environment mixes honey‑coloured Cotswold stone cottages with more modern housing and a modest high street.
Historically agricultural with Saxon roots and close ties to the Roman town of Cirencester, the village today functions partly as a commuter settlement while retaining local shops, pubs and a lively community scene. Tourism linked to the lakes, outdoor recreation and a strong sense of village life remain important to its economy and social character.
