Upleadon is a small village and civil parish on the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on slightly higher ground above the valley of the River Leadon. Its lanes open out to farmland and orchards rather than dense woodland, so you get long rural views and occasional glimpses of May Hill to the north; the settlement’s compact cluster of stone and timber cottages and farmhouses gives a distinctly traditional West Country character.
Historically centred on its parish church, which retains medieval fabric and a strong local identity, the village has long been agricultural in economy but today combines farming with residents who commute to nearby towns such as Gloucester and Ledbury. Social life is typical of a small community: quiet, close-knit and focused around the church, village meetings and occasional local events, with a sense of continuity between past and present that many visitors find appealing.
