Forthampton is a small, elevated village and civil parish in the district of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, sitting above the floodplain with pleasant views across meadows to the River Severn. Narrow lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of historic houses give it a distinctly rural character despite being within easy driving distance of Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
The settlement has a historic core with several listed buildings and a village church of ancient origins, and the nearby country house Forthampton Court is noted for its terraces and gardens. Traditionally agricultural, the local economy now mixes farming with commuters and small-scale local enterprises, and the parish retains a quiet, conservation-minded community atmosphere with occasional local events and a strong sense of place.
