Minchinhampton is a compact market town and civil parish on the Cotswold Edge in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. It sits beside the broad sweep of Minchinhampton Common, linked to Rodborough Common, a large area of limestone grassland and an SSSI that offers wide views over the Severn Vale and across the Cotswolds.
With medieval roots visible in its parish church of St Mary's and in surviving market-place buildings, the town combines historic character with a strong community life, independent shops and local clubs. The common contains ancient barrows and is still used for grazing, while Minchinhampton’s attractive conservation area and easy commuter links contribute to its popularity as a desirable place to live.
