The Ampneys & Hampton is a compact, rural ward of small villages and hamlets in the heart of the Cotswold countryside in Gloucestershire, England. It groups together the three historic Ampney settlements - Ampney Crucis, Ampney St Mary and Ampney St Peter - with the adjacent village of Hampton, set along the low-lying course of the Ampney Brook and surrounded by rolling arable fields and characteristic Cotswold stone cottages and medieval churches.
The area has a quiet, community-focused feel: agriculture remains important, but many residents commute to nearby towns such as Cirencester, Cheltenham, Swindon and Gloucester. Proximity to Fairford and RAF Fairford brings occasional bustle - notably large air displays - and contributes to the local economy and visitor interest, while village halls, parish churches and small pubs keep social life local and traditional.
