Welcome to Billesley

Billesley is a small village located in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south of the town of Stratford-upon-Avon and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. Billesley is also known for its connection to William Shakespeare, who is believed to have visited the village and stayed at Billesley Manor.

One of the main attractions in Billesley is the Billesley Manor Hotel, a historic country house that dates back to the 16th century. The hotel is set in 11 acres of beautiful grounds and offers luxurious accommodation, fine dining, and a range of spa treatments. Billesley Manor is also a popular wedding venue, with its stunning gardens and elegant reception rooms providing the perfect backdrop for a romantic celebration.

Another notable feature of Billesley is the village church, St. James's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century tower. St. James's Church is still an active place of worship and holds regular services throughout the year. The church is also open to visitors who wish to explore its history and architecture.
