Alkington is a small civil parish in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England. It sits in a largely rural landscape of farms, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, with a scattering of hamlets and traditional farmhouses rather than a single dominant village, so the feel is peaceful and agrarian.
Historically agricultural, the parish still leans on farming and small local businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work and services. Community life tends to centre on parish gatherings, local halls and countryside pursuits, and the area’s quiet lanes and historic farmsteads reflect a long-established rural character within easy reach of larger centres such as Gloucester and Bristol.
