Over Whitacre is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of North Warwickshire, in the county of Warwickshire, England. Sitting on the higher ground above its neighbour Nether Whitacre, the settlement retains a distinctly agricultural and historic feel - its name reflects Old English roots with "over" denoting the upper position in the local landscape.
The village is surrounded by mixed farmland and hedgerow country and benefits from relatively good road links to nearby centres such as Birmingham and Coventry, so many residents commute while a core of local farms and small businesses sustain the local economy. Community life tends to revolve around the parish and local events, giving Over Whitacre a quiet, close‑knit character valued by long‑term residents and newcomers alike.
