About Epney

Epney rests close to the Severn's wide embrace, a quiet Gloucestershire hamlet. It lies 7.1 km north-west of Stonehouse (from Stonehouse: bearing 323°T, OS grid SO 763 110), and is situated south of Longney village. The land here breathes a damp, fertile scent, the flat fields stretching towards the river's unseen murmur, their greens deep and resonant under the wide English sky. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn blossom in spring, trace the boundaries of pastures where cattle graze, their forms dark smudges against the pale canvas of the horizon. Epney's scattered cottages, some with stone walls weathered by generations of wind and rain, seem to huddle together for company, their chimneys occasionally exhaling thin plumes of smoke that dissolve into the vastness above. The quietude of Epney is not an emptiness, but a fullness of soft sounds: the distant bleating of sheep, the rustle of leaves, and the ceaseless, subtle whisper of the nearby water.
