Churchdown is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, lying on the ridge between Gloucester and Cheltenham. It’s best known for Churchdown Hill, a pair of wooded rises with footpaths and open escarpments that give wide views over the Severn Vale towards the Cotswolds, making it a popular spot for walkers and local wildlife enthusiasts.
The settlement grew from a medieval cluster around All Saints Church into a commuter-friendly community with shops, pubs, schools and active local groups, while retaining conservation areas and pockets of countryside. Good road links, including the nearby M5, and proximity to Gloucestershire Airport mean it combines village character with easy access to urban centres, so it remains popular with families and outdoor lovers alike.
