Coombe Hill is a hamlet in the civil parish of Leigh in Gloucestershire, England. It lies on the A38 road between Gloucester and Tewkesbury, at the junction with the A4019 road to Cheltenham. Coombe Hill is the terminus of the disused Coombe Hill Canal, which joined the hamlet to the River Severn, 2.7 miles (4.3 km) west, between 1796 and 1876. It is now a nature reserve.

Coombe Hill Canal lies in the Vale of Gloucester, south west England, north of Leigh and runs west 2.75 miles (4.43 km) from Coombe Hill Basin to the River Severn near Wainlode Hill. It opened in 1796 and closed 80 years later in 1876, after the only lock was damaged by flooding. The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust purchased the Coombe Hill Canal nature reserve in 1985 and the area is managed by the trust. Adjacent to the Coombe Hill Canal is a large area of wet meadowland situated midway between Gloucester and Tewkesbury to the west of the A38, which was purchased by the trust in 1999. There is a north and a south meadow. This land and the Canal itself often flood in winter, which attracts hundreds of wildfowl.
