Situated at the northernmost tip of Warwickshire, surrounded by rural Leicestershire, Staffordshire and South Derbyshire, Austrey is only two miles from the National Forest.

Austrey has a vibrant community where there is always something going on.  In September the village was named as the overall winner for Warwickshire in the Calor Best Village competition, with individual wins in the "medium village" and the "environmental" categories.

More good news followed in October when ownership of the 150-year-old school building, now used as a Village Hall, was transferred to the village.  Much needed improvements to the Village Hall can now get underway.

Austrey is a predominantly rural community with a picturesque 12^th century church, and a well-known thatched pub, the “Bird in Hand”. 

Another local landmark is BT's microwave relay station known locally as the “Rocket”, which sits on the hill between Austrey and Appleby.
