Kingswood is a small village in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It enjoys the rolling limestone countryside and good walking country typical of the Cotswolds, with long views across the Severn Vale towards the hills; the village feels rural but is within easy reach of the larger market towns of the Stroud valley.
Historically the locality has agricultural roots and links to the Stroud valley’s cloth and mill heritage, but today Kingswood is largely residential, popular with commuters and walkers. The community retains a village atmosphere with stone cottages, local events and a parish-minded social life, and the surrounding landscape and conservation areas are important to both outdoor recreation and local identity.
