The village is nestled within the larger parish of Northleach with Eastington, and is approximately 4 miles southeast of the town of Northleach.

Fishpool is a tight-knit community with a population of around 200 residents. The village boasts a traditional English charm, with a cluster of stone cottages and a few larger houses scattered throughout. The architecture reflects the local Cotswold style, characterized by its honey-colored limestone and thatched roofs.
