Clifton upon Dunsmore is a small village and civil parish a few miles south of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It sits on a ridge overlooking the Avon valley, with attractive views and easy access to the River Avon and the nearby Oxford Canal, so countryside walking and canalside routes are popular.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village still has a compact core of traditional cottages, a parish church, a village hall and a pub, and today many residents commute to nearby towns such as Rugby, Coventry or Birmingham. Community life is lively for its size, centred on local clubs, fetes and conservation-minded activities that reflect the rural character while benefiting from good transport links.
