Hartpury is a rural village and civil parish in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England, sitting on rolling farmland at the eastern edge of the Forest with views across the Severn Vale and easy road links into Gloucester. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with hedgerows, pasture and woodland giving a distinctly countryside character rather than a built-up feel.
Locally the village has a strong agricultural and equine identity: the college and university on the edge of the settlement are well known for land-based, equine and sports courses and their showground brings national events that boost the local economy. There is also a long rural history visible in the parish church and older buildings, and village life tends to revolve around farming, college activity and community halls rather than heavy industry.
