Location

Stretton-On-Fosse is situated on the edge of the North Cotswold Hills in an extremely attractive area of countryside along the Warwickshire/Gloucestershire border. The village lies off to the west of the Roman Fosseway (A429) and is therefore located away from through traffic. It enjoys an historic village church and Inn, The Plough, whilst the two neighbouring towns of Shipston-on Stour-and Moreton-in-Marsh are both about four miles away offering a wide range of amenities including good schools, banks, and speciality shops. From Moreton-in-Marsh there is also a mainline rail service to Worcester and London Paddington. The Kitebrook Preparatory School for 3-13 year-olds is about six miles. The award-winning Daylesford Farm Shop is about eight miles away and Soho Farmhouse Members’ Club is about 18 miles.

The important surrounding centres of Stratford-upon-Avon (7 miles) and Cheltenham (26 miles) provide further cultural and recreational facilities, together with excellent independent and state schools.

For those interested in country pursuits the general area provides excellent riding and walking within countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are excellent sporting opportunities in the region, including golf at nearby Broadway with further courses at Naunton Downs, Stratford-upon-Avon and Lyneham. National Hunt Racing at Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick and polo at Cirencester. Other sporting venues include Premiership Rugby at Worcester and Gloucester and County Cricket at Worcester.
