The civil parish of Wellesbourne and Walton sits in the south of the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England, combining the larger village of Wellesbourne and the smaller hamlet of Walton. It occupies a mix of arable countryside and suburban ribbon development a few miles from Stratford-on-Avon and is probably best known for Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield, a former RAF base that now hosts light aviation, events and a busy weekend market area.
Locally the economy blends farming, small-scale industry and commuter households, while community life is active around village halls, sports clubs and long-standing pubs; historic cottages and parish church sites reflect the area's rural past, and its good road links and proximity to Stratford-on-Avon make it a popular, quieter base for visitors to Shakespeare country.
