Whittington in the district of Wychavon, Worcestershire, England is a small rural village set amid the fertile fields of the Vale of Evesham, within easy reach of market towns such as Evesham and Pershore and not far from the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding landscape of farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes makes it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful village setting.
Despite its size, Whittington has historic roots visible in a parish church and a number of older, listed buildings, and village life centres on a hall, occasional fetes and local clubs. The local economy remains largely agricultural - with horticulture important in the vale - complemented by small businesses and commuters who travel to nearby towns, and its traditional character and proximity to scenic areas attract visitors and new residents alike.
