Harescombe is a small village in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated 5 miles south of Gloucester. It is thought the name of the village is derived from a combination of the Celtic term "cwm" and the Saxon term "here" , thus the full meaning of "Harescombe" would be "the Army's Valley".
The community is indeed in a valley as it rests at the foot of the well-known range of the Cotswolds called the Haresfield Beacon and Broadbarrow Green, which were sites of ancient British and Roman encampments. These encampments were a part of a chain of fortresses expressly mentioned by Tacitus as having been raised by Ostorius Scapula between the Severn and Avon Rivers: old British works adapted by the Romans to their own requirements.
