Coaley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment above the broad Severn Vale. The area is best known for the nearby Coaley Peak, a set of flower-rich meadows and viewpoints popular with walkers and birdwatchers for its sweeping panoramas over the River Severn towards the Forest of Dean.
The village retains a strong rural character, with traditional Cotswold stone cottages, a village pub, a primary school and local clubs that keep community life active. Historically rooted in agriculture and local stone-working, Coaley today combines farming with commuter links into Stroud, Gloucester and Bristol, and is a handy base for exploring the wider Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
