Great Wolford is a small village and civil parish in the southern part of the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, sitting on the rural fringe of the Cotswolds close to the borders with Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. The area is characterised by gently rolling farmland, hedgerow-lined lanes and a scatter of stone-built cottages and historic farmsteads, giving it a distinctly rural and unspoilt feel.
Long associated with agriculture, the local economy remains largely farm-based though many residents commute to nearby market towns; community life is small-scale and centred on the parish church, village gatherings and the upkeep of historic buildings. The quiet lanes, old houses and views across the countryside make Great Wolford a good example of traditional Warwickshire village life.
