Burton Dassett is a small rural parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, best known for the dramatic ridge of the Burton Dassett Hills. The hills form a country park of open grassland, the remains of old ironstone workings and a distinctive windmill ruin, offering panoramic views across the county and into neighbouring Northamptonshire; they are a popular spot for walkers, riders and picnickers.
Locally the parish retains a quiet, agricultural character with a history shaped by medieval settlement and later quarrying; today tourism linked to the country park complements farming and village life, while the area’s landscape and heritage give it a strong sense of place within the wider Stratford-on-Avon district.
