Kinwarton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, in England, situated a short distance from the market town of Alcester and within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon. It occupies a quietly rural setting of arable fields and hedgerows, with a modest population made up of farming families and residents who commute to nearby towns.
The village is best known for the medieval Kinwarton Dovecote, an unusually well-preserved octagonal stone dovecote now looked after by the National Trust, which hints at the settlement’s long history. A handful of timber-framed cottages and the village church contribute to its historic charm, while local social life remains centred on parish activities and village events, with tourists drawn from the nearby Shakespearean attractions without altering the community’s rural character.
