Harescombe is a small rural village and parish in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds escarpment. Its elevated setting gives walkers broad views down over the Severn Vale and towards the lowlands beyond, and the surrounding landscape is typical mixed farmland and hedgerow country rather than dense settlement.
Historically agricultural, the community today is largely residential with a mix of farming and commuters who work in nearby towns and cities. The village retains a quiet, village‑scale social life centred on local amenities and parish activities, and its compact historic core and church make it a peaceful spot for people exploring the Cotswold fringes.
