Atherstone on Stour is a small civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, set beside the gentle meanders of the River Stour. The landscape is characteristically rural - patchwork fields, hedgerows and a scattering of historic cottages and farm buildings - and it sits within easy reach of market towns such as Shipston-on-Stour and the cultural attractions of Stratford-upon-Avon, with the edge of the Cotswolds not far away.
Locally the place retains a quiet, close-knit feel rooted in farming and country life, with a small population and limited services so residents tend to rely on nearby towns for shops, schools and transport links. Its historic character and riverside setting make it typical of the small Warwickshire parishes that together preserve much of the county’s rural heritage.
