The ward around Coaley and Uley lies on the lower slopes of the Cotswolds above the Severn Vale, close to Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. Its rolling limestone hills offer broad views and good walking country, and the landscape is marked by an ancient past - most notably the Iron Age hill fort of Uley Bury and nearby Neolithic remains around Nympsfield.
Today the area is largely rural and residential, sustained by mixed farming, small local businesses and a number of commuters to nearby towns, while tourism for walking, wildlife and heritage brings extra activity. Community life is strong, centred on village halls, pubs and local groups that run events and conservation projects, keeping a distinctly village character despite modern connections.
