Little Compton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, sitting close to the county boundary with Gloucestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds. It occupies rolling limestone countryside of narrow lanes, hedgerows and pasture, with honey‑coloured stone cottages and longstanding farmsteads that give the place a distinctly rural, unhurried character popular with walkers and country visitors.
Historically medieval in origin, the settlement displays several listed buildings and a compact village core; the local economy remains rooted in agriculture but has diversified into tourism, holiday lets and small rural enterprises. Socially it’s a tight‑knit community with the usual village activities and relies on nearby market towns such as Moreton-in-Marsh and the cultural amenities of Stratford-upon-Avon for wider services and transport links.
