Southam is a small, quiet village in the district of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, set on gently rolling farmland at the edge of the Severn Vale and within easy reach of the Cotswolds. The setting makes it popular with walkers and those looking for rural life while still being a short drive from the historic market town of Tewkesbury and the banks of the River Severn.
Traditionally agricultural, Southam has a mix of farmsteads and older cottages and now a number of residents who commute to nearby centres such as Cheltenham and Gloucester. Local community life tends to centre on village institutions like the church and hall, with the wider area's medieval history, annual events in Tewkesbury and occasional Severn flood concerns shaping its character.
