Horsley is a small village in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s typical Cotswold countryside - rolling limestone hills, honey‑coloured stone cottages and farmsteads - with attractive rural views across the Severn Vale and easy access for walkers and cyclists exploring local footpaths.
Historically the community grew from farming and the wider cloth and mill trade centred on the Stroud valleys, but today many residents commute to nearby centres such as Gloucester, Cheltenham or Bristol. Horsley retains a strong village feel with active local groups, a village hall and small-scale enterprises, and it benefits from the lively arts and food scene that characterises the surrounding Stroud area.
