Whittington is a small, rural parish in the district of Wychavon, Worcestershire, England, characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows and quiet country lanes. The surrounding landscape sits close to the productive market gardens of the Vale of Evesham, so agriculture and horticulture remain visible parts of the local scene alongside scattered farmsteads and traditional cottages.
The parish has a modest historic core with a parish church and a number of listed buildings that reflect its long settlement history, while community life tends to revolve around a village hall and occasional local events. Economically it is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Pershore, Worcester and Evesham for work and services.
