Nestled in the steep, wooded slopes of the southern Cotswolds within the district of Stroud in Gloucestershire, Owlpen is a tiny, peaceful parish of a few houses and lanes. The landscape of Cotswolds limestone, drystone walls, small fields and ancient woodland gives it a secluded, rural character much valued by walkers and those seeking quiet countryside scenery.
Its chief attraction is Owlpen Manor, a Grade I listed Tudor manor with medieval roots whose interiors, gardens and occasional public events draw visitors and reflect the area’s long agricultural past and ties to local gentry. Today the parish remains sparsely populated, with an economy centred on farming, heritage tourism and small rural enterprises, and a strong local sense of history and community.
