Location

Forthampton is a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside, offering an idyllic and peaceful lifestyle for those seeking a rural retreat. Surrounded by rolling farmland and natural beauty, the village provides a tranquil setting while still being within easy reach of nearby towns such as Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, which offer a wide range of shops, schools, and recreational facilities.

The village has a unique character, with most of the properties owned by the historic Forthampton Estate and let to long-standing tenants. Only a small number of homes are privately owned, preserving a close-knit and stable community atmosphere.

Community spirit is strong in Forthampton. The village hall serves as a central hub for social gatherings, including regular events and meetings of the Forthampton Women’s Institute (WI). Residents stay connected through a village WhatsApp group, and many take part in local activities such as a book club and a small men’s club near the church.

The village church holds services every few weeks, as the vicar rotates between Forthampton and neighbouring parishes.

While Forthampton itself does not have a pub, the Lower Lode Inn is within walking distance (approximately 30 minutes on foot), offering a traditional riverside setting. A short drive will also take you to other excellent local pubs, including The Hunters Inn in Longney and The Yew Tree in Chaceley.
