A FLAVOUR OF BRIMPSFIELD.
WEATHER WARNING
Police have attended a number of road traffic collisions and have received reports of flooding.
Please take care when driving in the current conditions and allow extra time for your journey.
Please clear all the snow off your car before setting off so the snow does fall off and cause cars behind to take evasive action.
Now we are in the winter months consider carrying a shovel, spare warm clothes, blanket and take something to eat and drink just in case you become stuck.

WELCOME TO BRIMPSFIELD VILLAGE AND ITS COMMUNITY
Brimpsfield is a village in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, nestling between Gloucester - (9 miles), Cirencester - (9 miles) and Cheltenham - (7 miles). It prides itself on being a village community (with its own Celtic stone circle) and is inclusive of all, both young and old. There are 84 dwellings in the village with a population of approx 221 and in recent years Brimpsfield has 'grown' by the influx of young families with their children (and animals!) whilst enjoying the support and care of the more established members of the community. For a fuller history of Brimpsfield please Click here.
Close-by is the village of Birdlip and frequently the two communities, (Brimpsfield & Birdlip), come together to share & enjoy events. There is always something going on, whether an organised community event or a drink at the village Hall's 'Wheelers' bar every Friday evening from 6.30 pm..
