The parish of Whittington sits in the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, and has the sort of honey‑coloured stone cottages, hedgerows and arable fields that typify the area. Its quiet lanes and public footpaths make it popular with walkers and riders, while its proximity to larger centres such as Cheltenham and Gloucester means services and commuter links are close at hand.
Historically an agricultural community with roots stretching back through the medieval period, Whittington retains a number of listed buildings and a compact village feel. Local life centres on community activities and parish initiatives, and the local economy mixes farming with small businesses and a modest trickle of visitors exploring the Cotswold countryside rather than any large‑scale industry.
