Welford-on-Avon is a small riverside village in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Avon a few miles south of the town centre. The settlement has a compact historic core of timber-framed and brick houses and a parish church, and its setting on the floodplain gives it a particularly attractive, verdant character.

Locally the village combines a quiet, agricultural hinterland with a lively community feel - a village hall, pub and local events bring people together - while its proximity to Stratford makes it a popular spot for walkers, river users and people who commute into the town for work or cultural life. Historic bridges and lanes give it a classic Warwickshire village atmosphere without feeling remote.
