Harbury, Long Itchington & Fenny Compton

Harbury, Long Itchington and Fenny Compton form a group of villages in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire set amid arable fields and hedgerows. Harbury’s green and village hall provide a clear local focus, while Long Itchington is organised along a long High Street with community facilities clustered there. Fenny Compton sits slightly apart on a lane network that links farms and hamlets. Each settlement retains a parish church, at least one village pub and a primary school, and the pattern of lanes and laneside trees gives the area a rural working character.

Community life is carried by clubs, volunteer groups and seasonal fêtes held on village greens and in halls. A well-used network of public footpaths and bridleways links the three villages, offering short circular walks between hedgerows and fields. Local landmarks include the war memorial and village pumps that mark village centres, and several former farm buildings now serve as small workshops and enterprises catering to nearby residents.
