Cropthorne is a village and civil parish in Wychavon, Worcestershire, England, tucked into the Vale of Evesham on the banks of the River Avon, a few miles from Pershore. Its low-lying position gives sweeping views of floodplain meadows and a landscape dominated by traditional orchards and market-gardening, which still underpin the local economy and character.
The village is noted for its timber-framed and thatched houses, a historic parish church and a strong community life centred on village events and conservation efforts to protect the orchards and wetland habitats. Seasonal blossom in spring and colourful fruit harvests make it a particularly picturesque slice of rural Worcestershire, though the riverine setting also brings occasional winter flooding that the community manages and adapts to.
