Shuttington is a small, rural civil parish in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, lying close to the river and canal corridors that thread this part of the Midlands. The parish includes the hamlet of Alvecote and is noted for Alvecote Pools, a series of flooded gravel workings and wetland pools beside the River Anker that are important for birdlife and popular with walkers and naturalists.
Historically agricultural, the area’s character was shaped by waterways and later extraction, producing a mix of historic buildings, scattered farmsteads and former industrial sites. Today it retains a quiet, village atmosphere within easy reach of larger towns such as Tamworth and the West Midlands conurbation around Birmingham, so many residents combine local rural living with commuting or leisure visits to nearby urban centres.
