Map of the UK

Charlecote is a small, predominantly rural civil parish a few miles east of Stratford-on-Avon in Warwickshire, England. It sits on the floodplain of the River Avon and is dominated by the handsome deer park and Elizabethan house of Charlecote Park, whose oak-lined avenues, grassland and grazing deer give the area a strong sense of historic parkland and countryside tranquillity.

Historically centred on the landed estate of the Lucy family, the parish has a compact cluster of listed buildings and a small church, St Leonard’s, with local memorials; economically it remains largely agricultural but benefits from tourism linked to the park and the proximity of Stratford-on-Avon. Socially it feels like a peaceful village community popular with walkers and visitors interested in country houses, while also serving as a quiet commuter hinterland for the larger market town nearby.
