Idlicote

Idlicote is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, lying a few miles south of the market town of Shipston-on-Stour and close to the western fringe of the Cotswolds. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes rather than a compact village centre, and it supports a very small resident population with limited local services.

The locality has historic roots visible in its manor house and church buildings and retains a distinctly agricultural economy, though some residents commute to larger towns. Cultural life is modest but tangible: a tight-knit community, occasional local events and an interest in conserving the parish’s rural and historic character are all part of what makes Idlicote notable.
