Upper Slaughter is a tiny, picture‑postcard village in the southern Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England, sited on the gentle valley of the River Eye. The settlement is known for its honey‑coloured limestone cottages, narrow lanes and the sense of being tucked into a tranquil rural landscape; it lies close to Lower Slaughter and within easy reach of market towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water.
Historically compact and largely unchanged for centuries, the village retains a medieval parish church and a manor house that reflect its long past, while its economy today is a mix of agriculture, a modest tourism trade and residential life. Conservation and a close‑knit community characterise the place, with walkers and photographers drawn to the river, stone bridges and quiet footpaths rather than shops or nightlife.
