Long Compton is a small, long-established village in the southern corner of the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England, sitting close to the escarpments of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has the mellow stone and vernacular character you expect in this part of the country, a medieval parish church and a compact centre that gives it a distinctly rural, unhurried feel while still being within easy reach of larger market towns.
Historically the area is notable for nearby Edge Hill, where the first pitched battle of the English Civil War was fought in 1642, and the surrounding landscape attracts walkers and history enthusiasts. The local economy is largely agricultural with some small businesses and commuter households, and the community maintains an active village life with local events and amenities that draw visitors who are exploring the southern Warwickshire/Cotswolds border.
