Welford-on-Avon is a village situated some 4 miles (6 km) west-south-west of Stratford-upon-Avon in the county of Warwickshire, England.

The village maypole is one of the tallest in England (at 65 feet / 20 metres).

There are three pubs and many Tudor half-timbered and thatched cottages, mostly close to the village church, which is in the oldest part of Welford.

[2] Historically there were two railway stations within two miles of the centre of the village, Binton (1885-1949) and Milcote (1859-1966).

In 1995, it won the Daily Telegraph's young newspaper of the year competition with its annual publication, The J3 Bugle.
