Ashley is a village in Wiltshire close by the border with Gloucestershire. It is found about eight miles south-west of Cirencester in the latter county. To the north, across the A433 road in Gloucestershire, is Trull House.
The 2011 census recorded a population of 131.
The Fosse Way, a major Roman road from Cirencester towards Bath, runs to the south-east of the village: here it is a bridleway. For much of its route hereabouts this road forms a straight-line part of the border with Gloucestershire, though Ashley is in a part of Wiltshire across the Fosse Way.
Parish church
The Church of St James was built in the Norman period and rebuilt around 1200. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
