The hamlet of Box sits on the edge of Minchinhampton and the Cotswolds, within the district of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. Perched on limestone high ground, it has the honey‑coloured stone cottages typical of the area and affords wide views down into the Severn Vale.
Historically the locality shares in the wool and small‑scale quarrying heritage of the Stroud valleys; today it is mainly agricultural and residential, with many people commuting to Stroud, Gloucester or Bristol. Its proximity to Minchinhampton Common and the Cotswolds’ walking routes gives it a quiet rural character popular with walkers and those seeking countryside living close to market towns.
