About Whittington

Whittington, a Gloucestershire village, exhales a quiet dignity. It lies 6.8 km east-south-east of Cheltenham (from Cheltenham: bearing 103°T, OS grid SP 014 209), and is situated north-west of Andoversford village. The land around Whittington rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell, and the quality of light here, particularly as the afternoon sun begins its descent, can lend a golden hue to the ancient dry-stone walls that trace the contours of the fields. The parish church, St. Bartholomew's, stands as a sentinel of time, its stone worn smooth by centuries of contemplation and the passing seasons, its spire a slender finger pointing towards the vast, often cloud-streaked skies of the Cotswolds. Echoes of agricultural life still resonate in the air, a subtle scent of turned earth and distant livestock mingling with the clean, crisp breath of the English countryside.
