Hardwicke is a village and ward in the district of Stroud, set within Gloucestershire a short distance from the city of Gloucester. It sits in a predominantly agricultural landscape of hedged fields and lanes while enjoying convenient commuter links to nearby towns and the motorway network, which has shaped recent housing growth around an otherwise compact village core.
The settlement combines a historic character - with traditional cottages, a parish church and a village hall - with a modern edge: small businesses and light industry at the margins and a community active in local events and parish matters. Its mix of rural life, easy access to urban services and a visible history in farmsteads and older buildings make it typical of suburban-rural communities on the edge of Gloucestershire’s urban centres.
