Kingswood is a small rural civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, set on the rolling fringes of the Cotswolds. It has a landscape of stone cottages, mixed farmland and wooded ridges, giving a strong sense of countryside and good walking opportunities; the village retains medieval and later vernacular architecture that reflects its long local history.
Historically connected with the wider Stroud valley economy and its woollen traditions, Kingswood today combines farming and small local businesses with a commuter population who travel to Bristol and Gloucester. Community life centres on a village hall and church, occasional local events and the quieter rhythms of rural Gloucestershire in England.
