Longford is a small, largely rural settlement in the borough of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Sitting on the fringe of the gently rolling Cotswolds countryside, it’s characterised by farmland, quiet lanes and traditional stone and brick farmsteads, with the larger market town of Tewkesbury providing most shops and services a short drive away.
The area has a quietly historic, agricultural feel - many buildings date from earlier centuries and the local economy has long been linked to farming, though nowadays you’ll also find residents who commute to nearby towns. Social life is modest and community‑focused, and the location is popular with walkers and people who value easy access to country lanes and the region’s heritage without being far from urban centres.
