Southrop is a small village and civil parish set in the limestone countryside of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is typical of the region for its honey‑coloured stone cottages, rolling arable and pasture fields, hedgerows and dry‑stone walls.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the village retains a compact, historic core with traditional buildings and a parish community character; today the local economy mixes farming with rural tourism, small-scale local crafts and commuting to nearby market towns. Social life revolves around village institutions such as the parish church, village hall and occasional seasonal events, giving Southrop a quietly active rural community feel.
