Upper Rissington holds a quiet grace within the Cotswold landscape. It lies 6.1 km south-south-east of Stow-on-the-Wold (from Stow-on-the-Wold: bearing 168°T, OS grid SP 204 197), and is situated east of Little Rissington village. The gentle rise of the land here, where the honey-coloured stone of its cottages seems to absorb the soft Cotswold light, offers a sense of enduring peace. Evidence of its past agricultural life is still visible in the surrounding fields, their patterns a subtle testament to generations of husbandry. The air, particularly on a still morning, carries the faintest scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a perfume of the countryside.
