Bamfurlong is a small rural hamlet in the borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, set among gently rolling farmland on the fringes of the Cotswolds and not far from the valley of the River Avon. Its quiet lanes and scattered farmsteads give it a distinctly agricultural feel, while its situation close to main roads such as the M5 means larger towns are within easy reach.

Historically dominated by farming, the local economy now mixes traditional agriculture with commuters travelling to Cheltenham and Gloucester and a few converted barns and cottages attracting residents who value tranquillity and countryside walking. There are few services in the hamlet itself, but its proximity to the market town of Tewkesbury links it into a strong local sense of place and the area’s long medieval and rural heritage.
