Laverton is a village in Tewkesbury Borough in Gloucestershire, England. It lies less than a mile south of the village of Buckland, and is in the civil parish of Buckland. The cluster of cottages and farmhouses are built of local Cotswold stone, the oldest dating back at least to the 17th century. A long distance path crosses the village.
The village has a stone-built village hall, providing a 70-seat community building for the parish.[2]
The Winchcombe Way long-distance path runs through the village.[3] To the east of the village is Laverton Hill, formerly an area of limestone quarries. This is part of a Cotswold escarpment that runs from Broadway to Winchcombe, and is part of the Cotswold Way National Trail.[4]
