Cherington and Stourton

Cherington and Stourton are tiny, neighbouring settlements in the district of Stratford-on-Avon in Warwickshire, England. They sit in the shallow valley of the River Stour on the edge of the Cotswolds, and retain a distinctly rural, historic character with stone cottages, a parish church and a handful of listed buildings that reflect medieval and later manorial roots.

The area is dominated by mixed farming, hedgerows and quiet lanes, and while the local economy remains largely agricultural many residents commute to nearby towns for work. A small, close-knit community and a network of footpaths make Cherington and Stourton attractive to walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful slice of Warwickshire countryside.
