Napton on the Hill is a compact village in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, notable for sitting atop a prominent hill and offering wide, pastoral views across the surrounding countryside. The hill is capped by the distinctive Napton Windmill, a local landmark, and at its foot the nearby Oxford Canal with Napton Junction provides pleasant towpath walks and a boating presence that belies the village’s rural character.
Historically the village revolves around its parish church of St Lawrence and an agricultural past, but today it combines farming, a handful of local businesses and a lively community life with clubs and seasonal events. Its good road links make it attractive to commuters heading to Banbury, Leamington Spa or Coventry, while walkers and cyclists value the scenic hilltop setting and canal-side routes.
