Alderley is a small rural civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape is typical Cotswold-rolling limestone hills, mixed farmland and scattered honey‑coloured cottages-with a network of footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers looking for quiet countryside and wide views over the valley.
The parish has medieval roots and a handful of historic farmsteads and listed buildings, but today life is largely agricultural or residential, with many people commuting to nearby towns such as Stroud or Gloucester. Local community life is quietly active, reflecting the region’s rural traditions, while the close proximity of the Stroud valleys adds easy access to a lively arts and market culture born from the area’s industrial and textile heritage.
