Highfield Gloucestershire Map

About Highfield

Highfield rests on the rolling Cotswold slopes, a quiet presence in Gloucestershire. It lies 2.0 km north-north-west of Stroud (from Stroud: bearing 330°T, OS grid SO 840 069), and is situated south of Whiteshill village. The lanes here, often bordered by ancient dry stone walls, carry the soft, diffused light characteristic of the South West, a light that seems to hold the scent of damp earth and distant sheep. Though its origins are more recent than many of its neighbours, Highfield possesses a gentle stillness, a sense of enduring calm that speaks of decades of settled life. The land itself, a patchwork of fields and copses, offers a pleasing contour that invites exploration on foot, with views opening up unexpectedly to reveal the broad sweep of the Stroud valley.
