Westcote is a civil parish in the Cotswold district, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. The village is about 4 miles (6 km) south-southeast of Stow-on-the-Wold, just east of the A424 road to Burford. To the south and east, the civil parish borders the parishes of Fifield and Idbury in neighbouring Oxfordshire. The population is concentrated in the two main settlements: Church Westcote, the location of the parish church, and Nether Westcote, which has a Methodist chapel and a public house. Church Westcote lies on the Diamond Way long-distance footpath, and the Oxfordshire Way passes through the north of the parish between Wyck Rissington and Bledington. In 2011 it had a population of 208.
