Cranham is a small village and civil parish on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. Perched on the limestone escarpment, it offers broad views over the Severn Vale towards Wales, and the landscape of commons, beechwood and dry stone walls gives a distinctly Cotswold character that attracts walkers and visitors.
Historically rooted in medieval agriculture and the wool economy, the village retains a compact core around its parish church and community facilities; farming remains important locally, while tourism and commuting to nearby towns also play a part in the economy. It’s a small but active community, with local events and conservation efforts focused on preserving the commons and rural character.
