Hardwicke is a village and civil parish in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England, lying on the edge of the low-lying Severn Vale just outside Gloucester. Its setting on flat, fertile farmland gives it a strongly rural feel, even as it has become increasingly attractive to commuters working in nearby towns and cities.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village retains a parish church, some listed buildings and a handful of country houses that hint at its past. Today the community combines village amenities, local clubs and small businesses with occasional light industry nearby, so life here mixes traditional rural rhythms with the practicalities of being close to urban centres and major road links.
