Nympsfield is a small rural settlement in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. The landscape is typical Cotswold limestone countryside with rolling grassland, woodlands and good walking routes, and it feels quietly tucked away while still being within easy reach of the Stroud valleys and nearby market towns.
The area is notable for its archaeology and natural history: a Neolithic chambered long barrow and a nearby cave with Pleistocene finds give the place an unexpectedly deep past, while conservation-minded estates such as Woodchester Park add interest for visitors. Locally the economy remains largely agricultural with a mix of commuters and small-scale enterprises, and a close-knit community life centred on village activities and conservation projects.
