Brockworth is a sizeable village and civil parish on the eastern fringe of Gloucester, within the borough of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, England. It sits close to the lower slopes of the Cotswolds and has the feel of a commuter community for nearby Cheltenham and Gloucester, with a mix of post-war housing, local shops, schools and green spaces that keep a village character despite steady growth.
The area has a strong 20th-century industrial heritage - most notably the former aerodrome and aircraft works that played a role in local employment - and traces of that past survive in place names and museums nearby. Community life is active, centred on parish events, clubs and sports facilities, while the transport links and light industry around the village sustain a local economy alongside the commuter trade.
