The local area

Between Stratford and the Cotswolds

Newbold-on-Stour is a Warwickshire village on the River Stour, about six miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon. It makes an easy base for theatre, market towns and Cotswold countryside.

Days here can be as full or as slow as you like. Spend the morning in Stratford, find a Cotswold village for lunch, then come home to the hot tub and the fire. Or simply stay put and let the view do the work.
