Moreton Valence is a small, predominantly rural village and civil parish in the district of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. It sits close to the River Severn and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, with easy road links into Gloucester and onto the M5, and is within easy reach of the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. The landscape of meadows, hedgerows and waterways makes it popular for local walking, birdwatching and other countryside pursuits.
The village has a strong agricultural heritage and a quiet, close-knit community feel, while also serving as a commuter base for nearby towns. Moreton Valence is noted for its aviation history: the nearby former wartime airfield was used for aircraft testing and maintenance, leaving a distinctive historical footprint even as the area has largely returned to farming and small-scale local enterprise. The canal and river remain reminders of the parish’s historic links to regional trade and industry.
