Tortworth is a small rural parish in South Gloucestershire, England, set in rolling countryside on the western fringe of the Cotswolds and within easy reach of Bristol. The landscape is marked by estate parkland, small farms and pockets of ancient woodland; the Victorian country house Tortworth Court and its landscaped grounds are a local landmark and reflect the area's history as a long‑standing manor and sporting estate.
With a very small population the community is quiet and village‑centred, with agriculture and estate‑related businesses alongside a modest tourist trade linked to the hotel, country‑house events and walking. Residents often travel to nearby towns such as Wotton-under-Edge and Bristol for work and services, while local life is shaped by parish activities and ongoing conservation of the surrounding rural environment.
