Bishop's Cleeve is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the northern fringe of the Cotswolds. It lies at the foot of Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds, and enjoys sweeping views over the Severn Vale; the setting makes it popular with walkers and anyone wanting quick access to countryside while still being close to larger towns such as Cheltenham and Gloucester.
The village retains a mix of historic and modern features: its name reflects past ecclesiastical links and there is an older parish church at its heart, while more recent decades have seen housing growth, local shops, sports clubs and an active community spirit. Economically it functions partly as a commuter settlement for nearby urban centres but also supports local businesses and light industry, and its proximity to the Cotswolds gives it a distinctive blend of rural character and practical amenities.
