Kenderig is a small village located in the heart of the Cotswolds, a region in South West England known for its picturesque landscapes and traditional architecture. The village is situated approximately 10 miles north of Cirencester and is part of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kenderig is primarily a rural community, with a population of around 150 residents, and is characterized by its quaint cottages, green fields, and rolling hills.

The village's history can be traced back to the medieval period, with evidence of settlement dating to the 12th century. The name "Kenderig" is believed to derive from the Old English words "cyned" and "ric," which together mean "king's estate." This suggests that the area was once owned by a king or nobleman. Throughout the centuries, Kenderig has remained a largely unchanged agricultural community, with its residents primarily engaged in farming and related activities.

Today, Kenderig retains much of its traditional charm, with many of its buildings dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The village is home to a few local businesses, including a pub, a village store, and a few small farms. The village also has a community hall, which is used for various events and gatherings.

Despite its small size, Kenderig is well-connected to the wider world, with regular bus services to nearby towns and cities. The village is also close to several popular tourist attractions, including the Cotswold Water Park and the historic town of Bourton-on-the-Water.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in preserving and enhancing Kenderig's unique character. Local initiatives have focused on promoting sustainable farming practices, supporting local businesses, and encouraging community engagement. These efforts aim to ensure that Kenderig continues to thrive as a vibrant and welcoming rural community for generations to come.
