Hardwicke is a village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England, lying on the rural edge of the Severn Vale just outside the city of Gloucester. The setting mixes open farmland and pockets of modern housing, giving a pleasant semi-rural feel while remaining within easy commuting distance of larger centres such as Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol.
Historically an agricultural community, Hardwicke retains a number of older buildings and village institutions and has a community life centred on local clubs, a village hall and traditional pubs. Economically it combines farming with a significant proportion of residents who work in nearby towns, and recent years have seen modest housing growth alongside efforts to preserve the village character and local green spaces.
