Shipston on Stour is a market town and civil parish in Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, set in the gentle valley of the River Stour on the edge of the Cotswolds. Historically associated with the sheep and wool trade - its name reflects that heritage - it grew around a regular market and still has a characterful high street of timber-framed buildings, independent shops and traditional pubs.
Today the parish blends agriculture, small local businesses and commuter households, and hosts farmers’ markets, agricultural shows and community events that keep village life active; the surrounding rolling countryside is popular with walkers and cyclists and gives the area a distinctly rural, close‑knit feel.
