Clifton upon Dunsmore is a small village and civil parish a few miles south of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It sits on the edge of Dunsmore Heath and overlooks the valley that contains Draycote Water, a large reservoir and nature area much used for sailing, walking and birdwatching.
With medieval roots and a historic parish church, Clifton upon Dunsmore retains a rural character: agriculture remains important locally, but many residents commute to nearby towns such as Rugby, Coventry and Leamington Spa. Community life is quiet and village-focused, helped by the recreational draw of Draycote Water and a handful of local amenities that keep it connected despite its countryside setting.
