The civil parish of Longney and Epney sits in the district of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. Both villages are set on the low-lying floodplain of the River Severn, close to the wetland-rich landscape around Slimbridge and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, with pasture, reedbeds and drainage channels that make the area a magnet for birdwatchers and countryside walkers.
Locally the community is small and largely agricultural, with farms, traditional cottages and a village church reflecting a long rural history; field patterns and a few older buildings hint at centuries of settlement. Social life is quiet and community-focused, centred on farming, occasional local events and the rural tranquillity that attracts residents and visitors who value wildlife and wide-open skies.
