Shipston-on-Stour is a market town in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England. It sits on the banks of the River Stour at the south-eastern edge of the Cotswolds, combining a compact historic centre of narrow streets and Georgian buildings with immediate farming countryside and good walking country nearby.
It has medieval roots as a wool and sheep-trading centre (the name derives from “sheep town”) and still supports a regular market and agricultural economy alongside small businesses, light industry and commuters to larger towns. Community life is active - independent shops, cafés, clubs and arts groups, plus occasional local festivals - and its riverside setting and proximity to the Cotswolds make it popular with visitors and people seeking rural living.
