Gretton is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Tewkesbury, within Gloucestershire, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and narrow hedged lanes rather than a busy high street, so its character is defined by agricultural land use, dispersed farmsteads and a modest cluster of cottages rather than urban development.
Historically the area retains a village church and field patterns that reflect medieval and later farming, and the social life tends to revolve around local clubs, occasional village events and country pursuits. Economically the parish remains largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns; it appeals to walkers and those seeking quiet countryside, with wildlife-rich hedgerows and country lanes offering a typical English rural landscape.
