Burton Hastings is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Rugby, Warwickshire, England, set among rolling farmland a short drive from larger towns such as Rugby, Nuneaton and Coventry. It has a population of only a few hundred, giving it a quiet, countryside character with narrow lanes, farmsteads and scattered historic cottages rather than a busy high street.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a medieval feel with an old parish church and several listed buildings, and its name reflects the Old English "Burton" (farm or fortified enclosure) with the later association of a Hastings family. Today the local economy is a mix of farming and commuters who travel to nearby towns, while village life revolves around the church and community events that keep a close-knit, village atmosphere.
