About Oldbury on the Hill

Oldbury on the Hill, a small hamlet within the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, wears its modest presence with a quiet dignity. It lies 7.9 km south-east of Wotton-under-Edge (from Wotton-under-Edge: bearing 131°T, OS grid ST 816 880), and is situated west-north-west of Didmarton village. The gentle rise of the land here affords a pleasing prospect, the fields often appearing as if brushed with a soft, enduring light, especially in the late afternoon. Ancient hedgerows, thick with the promise of seasons to come, define the boundaries of pasture and arable land that have been worked for generations, their green hues deepening under the broad sweep of the sky. The air itself seems to carry a certain stillness, a palpable quietude that is the hallmark of this corner of the South West. A scattering of stone cottages, their roofs mellowed by the passage of years, speak of a continuity of life, each a small, solid anchor in the landscape.
