Stinchcombe is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, in south‑west England, perched on the Cotswold escarpment. The village is best known for Stinchcombe Hill, a steep stretch of limestone pasture that is a Site of Special Scientific Interest within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; its species‑rich grassland gives wide views over the Severn Vale towards the Forest of Dean and, on a clear day, into Wales.
Historically rural, Stinchcombe retains traditional stone cottages and a historic church, while the local economy remains rooted in farming alongside residents who commute to nearby towns such as Stroud, Gloucester and Bristol. The village has an active community life with walking, wildlife‑watching and village events making it a quietly sociable spot for both long‑time locals and newcomers.
