Nestled in idyllic Warwickshire countryside, The Orchard, Ettington is only six miles from historic Stratford-upon-Avon, where the legacy of the world’s most famous playwright lives on.  

Shakespeare Trust attractions include the Waterside RSC Theatre, Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Mary Arden’s working Tudor Farm.

This significant town bristles with beautiful historic buildings, inviting you to explore its beautiful streets, wander along the Avon’s riverside pathways and picnic among its many green spaces.

A vibrant centre boasts independent shops and delis, stylish boutiques, art galleries, museums and a twice-monthly farmers’ market. For gastronomes exciting restaurants and cafes satisfy every taste, budget and occasion, from fine dining to traditional pub lunches and indulgent cream teas.

Within a short drive you will find the quintessential Cotswolds towns of Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh and picture postcard villages such as Blockley, Ebrington and Kingham, whose pubs are among the finest in the country.

High quality shopping, dining and leisure experiences continue in the Regency town of Royal Leamington Spa with its parade of high street names and independents, and in the cosmopolitan town of Solihull.

Sports enthusiasts are also well catered for, with tennis courts, football pitches, golf courses and cycle routes close at hand, as well as racing at Stratford, Warwick and Cheltenham.

Ettington offers no shortage of glorious Warwickshire countryside to explore, with abundant wildlife walks and spectacular country parks and estates.

But if you need to get to London or Birmingham, junction 12 of the M40 is a convenient 15 minutes by car and Warwick Parkway a few minutes further, providing direct trains to both cities.  A host of other commutes are possible, with the Worcestershire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire borders all within a 10-mile radius.
