Stratton is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, situated a few miles north‑east of Cirencester. It has the characteristic honey‑coloured limestone cottages and a compact village core with a parish church, country lanes and surrounding pasture that give it the classic Cotswold feel; its proximity to the historic town of Cirencester means Roman and medieval influences are never far away.
Locally the economy is still rooted in agriculture, complemented by a handful of small businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns, while walkers and visitors stop by for the scenery, village pub and occasional community events. Social life tends to be quiet and neighbourly, with conservation and historic character important to residents who value the rural setting.
