Ettington sits about six miles southeast of Stratford-upon-Avon, positioned where the Roman Fosse Way meets the A422. It is a village shaped by the local ironstone, which gives the older cottages their distinctive warm, honey-coloured hue, though much of the current layout evolved around the turn of the 18th century when the Shirley family shifted the village centre away from the ancestral manor. Today, life revolves around the community-run shop, the primary school, and a well-used green, with the pub and village hall serving as the main social anchors. While the atmospheric ruins of the old St Nicholas church remain in the private grounds of Ettington Park, the "new" Victorian church stands at the heart of the village. It is a practical spot for those working in the nearby Midlands hubs, offering a quiet, rural character without feeling isolated, though you’ll definitely need a car for the weekly shop or a trip into the Cotswolds just down the road.
