Flower Delivery to Atherstone on Stour with Clare Florist

A village and civil parish located in the Warwickshire district of Stratford-upon-Avon, Atherstone on Stour formed a narrow tongue that projected west from Loxley into Gloucestershire until 1931. After that, county boundaries were re-adjusted due to a Transfer Order.

The best way to describe the parish is open and undulating. It rises about 140 feet on the Marchfront Brook, which forms the western portion of the parish. The Stour, which leads to the north and through the centre of the parish, rises to about 200 feet with a maximum elevation of 250 feet, on Atherstone Hill in the south-western area.
