About Hawkesbury Upton

Hawkesbury Upton, a Gloucestershire village, breathes the quiet dignity of the Cotswolds fringe. It lies 6.7 km south-south-east of Wotton-under-Edge (from Wotton-under-Edge: bearing 160°T, OS grid ST 779 869), and is situated south-south-east of Hillesley village. The ancient parish church, St Catherine's, stands as a silent sentinel, its weathered stone a testament to centuries of quiet devotion, catching the low afternoon sun in a way that softens its austere lines. The surrounding fields, often dusted with a fine, almost luminous haze, roll away in gentle sweeps towards the horizon, their patchwork quilt of greens and golds a familiar comfort. The village itself, a collection of sturdy stone cottages and a welcoming inn, feels like a place where time has been content to move at its own measured pace, allowing the rhythm of the seasons to dictate its days. A gentle breeze, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant sheep, often stirs the leaves of the ancient trees that line the lanes, their branches reaching skyward as if in perpetual, silent prayer.
