Windrush is a small, mostly rural civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set in the valley of the River Windrush within the gently rolling, honey‑stone landscape of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish retains a compact cluster of traditional stone buildings and farmsteads, with its historic character visible in cottages, walls and a parish church dating back centuries.
Today Windrush combines working agriculture with a quieter, tourism‑tinged economy - holiday lets, walkers and visitors following nearby routes such as the Cotswold Way bring extra custom - while many residents commute to larger centres like Cirencester or Cheltenham for services and work. Conservation rules and the AONB status shape development, so the parish feels rural and well preserved, with local life centred on farming, small businesses and community activities rather than large commercial industry.
