Hinton is a small, rural civil parish just outside Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the gently undulating countryside at the edge of the Cotswolds. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland, narrow lanes and stone cottages, with plenty of walks and views that attract those who enjoy a quieter, village atmosphere close to larger towns.

Historically the community grew out of agricultural roots and has links to the wider woollen and industrial heritage of the Stroud valley, while today its economy is a mix of small farms, local businesses and commuters who work in nearby centres; socially it retains a strong village feel, drawing on local events and the markets and cultural life of Stroud.
