Great Witcombe is a very small, rural parish in the borough of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Set on the southern fringe of the Cotswolds escarpment, the landscape is largely rolling pasture and limestone countryside, with a handful of farms, a historic church and the remnants of older manorial and agricultural activity visible in field patterns and hedgerows.
Life here is quiet and largely agricultural, with many residents commuting into nearby towns such as Tewkesbury or Gloucester for work; the area also attracts walkers and people interested in local history because of its rural charm and traces of medieval and earlier occupation. Its proximity to the River Severn floodplain and the Cotswold hills gives it a distinct sense of place within Gloucestershire’s patchwork of market towns and farming communities.
