Welcome to Ruscombe

Ruscombe is a small village located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is situated in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque countryside. The village is home to a small community of around 200 people, who enjoy a peaceful and rural way of life.

One of the most notable features of Ruscombe is its historic church, St. James the Great. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II* listed building. It features a beautiful Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century tower. The church is still in use today and holds regular services, as well as hosting community events and concerts.

Ruscombe is also home to a number of walking and cycling routes, which take visitors through the stunning countryside surrounding the village. The Cotswold Way, a long-distance footpath that runs from Chipping Campden to Bath, passes through Ruscombe and offers walkers the chance to explore the area's natural beauty. The village is also close to the town of Stroud, which has a range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
