Barcheston is a small village and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside close to the River Stour and the market town of Shipston-on-Stour. The settlement is compact, with a number of historic cottages and farm buildings that give it a distinctly rural, timeless feel.
Historically centred on farming and local crafts, the parish retains a lot of its built heritage and attracts walkers and anyone interested in quiet village life on the edge of the Cotswolds. Community life is small and close‑knit, while many residents now travel to nearby centres such as Stratford-upon-Avon for shops, work and cultural amenities.
