Upton St. Leonards is a large village just a few miles north of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the lower slopes of the Cotswolds. Its position gives pleasant views across rolling countryside and easy access to the Stroud valley and larger centres such as Gloucester and Cheltenham, making it popular with commuters and walkers alike.
The village retains a strong community feel, with a parish church dedicated to St Leonard, a primary school, village hall and local clubs and pubs; historically it was tied into the wool and cloth industries of the wider Stroud area but today is largely residential with farms, small businesses and an active voluntary scene. Regular local events and footpaths into the surrounding Cotswold hills give it a mix of rural charm and everyday practicality.
