Kemble, Gloucestershire

Kemble is a village in Gloucestershire, England. It lies just four miles from Cirencester and is the closest settlement to the source of the River Thames.

Kemble used to be an important railway junction, the Golden Valley Line from Swindon to Cheltenham passes through the village and branch lines from Cirencester and Tetbury met here. Today, although the branch lines were dismantled in the 1960s the railway station is still important for passengers travelling to or from Cirencester.

Kemble Airfield on the edge of the village once hosted the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic display team.
