Hillesley and Tresham is a rural parish on the western ridge of the Cotswolds. It is about twenty miles north west of Bristol and three miles south of Wotton Under Edge. It was formed in 1991 when part of Hawkesbury parish was transferred back to Gloucestershire from Avon.
Hillesley and Tresham parish is made up of Hillesley, Tresham, Lower Kilcott and Upper Kilcott settlements. It also includes outlying houses and farms. Walkers on routes of the national trail, The Cotswold Way, and the long distance footpath, The Monarch’s Way, pass through the parish.
Our Council
Hillesley and Tresham Parish council consists of up to 8 councillors (including a chair) and the clerk. The Parish Council is a multi-talented team, very dedicated and committed to its service of adding value to the community. We run monthly meetings in the Parish and hold an annual Parish meeting. We encourage members of the public to attend to get a glimpse of how the council operates and share opinions and ideas.
