Acton Turville is a small village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, set on the north‑eastern edge of the Cotswolds where limestone ridges give way to rolling farmland. The settlement comprises honey‑coloured stone cottages, a small historic church and scattered farms, enjoying wide views over fields and woodland; the name combines Old English 'Acton' (oak farm) with the Turville family who once held the manor.
With only a few hundred residents it retains a quiet, close‑knit feel, largely agricultural but increasingly home to commuters working in Bristol and Bath. Local life centres on a village hall and occasional community events, while nearby estates such as Badminton and the surrounding countryside make it attractive for walkers and those seeking a rural base close to larger towns.
