Wellesbourne is a large village in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, set in rolling countryside roughly four miles south‑east of the town. It has medieval origins (its name refers to a spring and stream) and expanded in the 20th century; a prominent local landmark is the Wellesbourne Mountford airfield, a former RAF station that today supports general aviation, classic-vehicle events and a popular market.
Today Wellesbourne combines agriculture, horticulture and light industry with many commuter households working in nearby centres such as Warwick and Leamington Spa. Local life is centred on a primary school, shops, pubs and community groups, with regular events at the airfield and village hall that give it a lively but distinctly village character close to the cultural pull of Stratford-on-Avon.
