Gaydon is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, tucked into gently rolling Warwickshire countryside and close to the M40 motorway. It has a distinctly rural feel with a tight-knit community, a village pub and lanes leading out to agricultural land, yet it sits within easy reach of the region’s market towns and tourist attractions.
Despite its size, Gaydon is notable for its motoring connections - it hosts the British Motor Museum and a cluster of automotive engineering and test facilities used by manufacturers such as Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin. The site also occupies the former RAF Gaydon airfield, and the combination of automotive heritage and a peaceful village atmosphere makes it an interesting mix of industry and rural life.
