Alderton Gloucestershire Map

About Alderton

Alderton rests in a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, its ancient stones absorbing the pale English sunlight. It lies 5.5 km north-north-west of Winchcombe (from Winchcombe: bearing 334°T, OS grid SP 001 333), and is situated east-north-east of Alstone village. The village green, a generous sweep of emerald, often catches the soft afternoon light, lending a certain contemplative peace to the surrounding cottages. Alderton’s gentle incline towards the Cotswold escarpment offers subtle, sweeping views, the land unfolding in a patchwork of greens and golds, a landscape that has sustained generations. The church of St. Margaret, with its sturdy Norman arches, stands as a silent witness to the village's long continuity, its bells a familiar, measured sound against the rustle of leaves. There is a palpable sense of rootedness here, a quiet dignity that speaks of enduring rural life, where the seasons dictate the pace and the land provides its quiet bounty.
