Hucclecote is an eastern suburb and electoral ward of Gloucester in Gloucestershire, located a few miles east of the city centre and close to the M5 motorway. It blends a compact historic village core with 20th-century and later suburban housing, with green spaces and small industrial or business estates on its edges that link it into the wider road network.
Originally a small agricultural settlement whose name derives from Old English meaning Huccel's cottage, Hucclecote grew significantly during the 20th century. Today it has an active community life - local schools, clubs, pubs and a village green - while many residents commute to Gloucester and Cheltenham. The mix of light industry and residential streets gives the ward a practical, family-oriented character with a village feel close to the city.
