The village of Twigworth sits a few miles north of Gloucester in the borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England. It is a small, largely rural settlement set among farmland and low-lying meadows close to the River Severn, with easy road links to the M5 corridor so many residents commute to Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Historically agricultural, Twigworth retains a village atmosphere with older cottages and farmsteads, a modest community life centred around local facilities and occasional events, and easy access to the historic market town of Tewkesbury with its abbey and regular markets; the surrounding landscape also appeals to walkers and birdwatchers. Economically it functions largely as a quiet residential and farming community rather than a commercial centre.
