Highnam is a small village and civil parish just west of Gloucester, close to the historic market town of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, England. It sits in gently rolling countryside near the River Severn corridor, making it convenient for commuters to Gloucester and Cheltenham while retaining a distinctly rural feel of farmland, hedgerows and nearby woodlands.
The village is best known for the stately Highnam Court and its well-regarded ornamental gardens, which draw visitors and underpin a modest local tourism trade. Social life centres on traditional village amenities and community events, and economically the area is a mix of agriculture, small local businesses and residents who work in the surrounding towns; its proximity to Tewkesbury means residents also benefit from the town’s medieval abbey and annual festivals.
