Map of the UK

Twigworth is a small, largely rural parish in the Tewkesbury district of Gloucestershire, England, lying just north of Gloucester and within easy reach of the M5. The landscape is traditionally agricultural with hedgerow fields, a low-lying character influenced by the nearby River Severn floodplain, and views that lead towards the Cotswolds to the east.

Historically it grew from scattered farmsteads and retains a quiet village feel; local life is a mix of farming activity and commuters working in Gloucester and Cheltenham. The parish has a modest parish church and an engaged community, with limited local services so residents tend to rely on nearby towns for shops and schools, which helps preserve its peaceful, semi-rural character.
