The village of Bidford-on-Avon sits on the southern bank of the River Avon in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England. It’s a compact riverside settlement, with the characterful stone Bidford Bridge marking a historic crossing and attractive towpaths and flood meadows that make it popular for walkers and boating.

Historically it grew as a market and river‑transport centre and today mixes local shops, pubs and small businesses with commuter residents drawn to nearby towns; community life centres on village events, a primary school and leisure activity on the water.
