Bishop's Cleeve is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Tewkesbury in the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England.

The name Cleeve, first attested in the eighth century as Clife, comes from the dative singular form of the Old English word clif ('at the cliff, bank, steep hill').

However, the 15-mile (24 km) stretch of track between Broadway and Cheltenham Racecourse had since been reconstructed, reopened and preserved as the Heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.

Bishop's Cleeve is bordered by the village of Woodmancote to the east, the former Great Western railway line dividing the two parishes.

[5][6] Bishops Cleeve is served by the A435 running through the western side of the village, with direct access to Cheltenham and Evesham.

This was rejected by Tewkesbury Borough Council in 2007, but the developers appealed to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government about the decision, which triggered a full planning inquiry.
