Horsley is a small, rural parish a few miles south of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds. It occupies undulating limestone countryside with classic stone houses and lanes, offering wide views down towards the Severn Vale and easy access to a network of footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically rooted in agriculture and linked to the wider cloth and mill economy of the Stroud valley, the village today combines farming with a small, vibrant local community of artisans and commuters. Community life centres on the village hall and occasional local events, while quiet lanes, hedgerows and ancient field patterns give it a distinctly rural, low‑key character.
