Hillesley is a traditional Cotswold village, set on the lower slopes of the escarpment within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Built predominantly of warm Cotswold stone and surrounded by rolling countryside, it offers a peaceful rural setting with far-reaching views, yet remains remarkably well connected. At the heart of the village is a strong and welcoming community. There is a well-regarded C of E primary school, parish church, village hall and playing fields, along with a tennis court and cricket club. The Fleece Inn, a much-loved local pub adds to the village's easy charm. Footpaths and bridleways radiate out into the surrounding countryside, linking to the Cotswold Way and offering endless opportunities for walking and riding straight from the doorstep.

Despite its tranquil setting, Hillesley is conveniently positioned just off the A46, providing straightforward access to the market towns of Wotton-under-Edge, Chipping Sodbury, Tetbury and Nailsworth. Junction 18 of the M4 is within easy reach, offering connections to Bristol, Bath and London, while the M5 is also accessible for travel further afield. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from Kemble, making the village a practical choice for commuters seeking country living without compromise. For families, the well-regarded Katharine Lady Berkeley's Secondary School (KLB) is nearby in Wotton-under-Edge, with a further range of independent schools in the wider area including Westonbirt and Beaudesert Park. There are plenty of opportunities locally for sport and leisure, from golf and equestrian pursuits to well-regarded country hotels and restaurants.

Hillesley strikes a rare balance - an unspoilt village with a genuine sense of community, surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet within easy reach of excellent schooling, amenities and transport links.
