Map of the UK

Winstone is a tiny, hill-top village in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, set among rolling limestone pastures and dry‑stone walls typical of the area. The village is made up of honey‑coloured Cotswold stone cottages and narrow lanes, giving it a very rural, timeless feel and making it a quiet spot for walkers and anyone seeking the classic Cotswold landscape.

Historically it grew as an agricultural community and retains a number of older buildings and a small medieval church, with the local economy still largely rural alongside some tourism and residents commuting to larger towns. With a small population there’s a close‑knit social atmosphere and the sort of parish meetings and village events common to small Cotswold communities.
