The nearest town is Chipping Campden, which is approximately 2.75 miles (4.43 km) south-west from the village. The village is on the Gloucestershire-Warwickshire border. It should not be confused with Hidcote Boyce, a similarly sized village roughly 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of Hidcote Bartrim. In 1931 the parish had a population of 47.Hidcote Manor Garden is one of the best-known and most influential Arts and Crafts gardens in Britain, with its linked "rooms" of hedges, rare trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. Created by Lawrence Johnston, it is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. Kiftsgate Court Gardens, created by Heather Muir in the 1920s, is also adjacent to the village. Other major attractions include the duck pond, the field with a tree in the middle and the so-called ‘avenue of trees’. The latter affords visitors beautiful views of the Warwickshire countryside from a raised vantage point, over 600 ft above sea level.

Foxcote House
Foxcote House

Foxcote House is an 18th-century detached country house in the village of Ilmington, near Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire, England. It has been a Grade II* listed property since September 1952. The house has 11 bedrooms, and five bathrooms, with a suite and two dressing rooms. It also has a large hall with a mezzanine gallery. The front of Foxcote House contains large gardens. The house was constructed c., 1740; its design has been attributed to Edward Woodward. It was traditionally the family seat of the Canning family; ten generations of the Canning family resided at the house until the death of Robert Canning in 1848. Foxcote House was occupied by a private school before its purchase in the 1960s by Christopher Boot Holman, an heir of the pharmaceutical retail company Boots the Chemist. The Holmans restored the house, and it was sold by them in 1997 to the American billionaire Les Wexner. The 1997 sale price has been quoted as £3 million or £8 million. The Wexners attend the annual pheasant shooting season each October and host traditional British shooting parties in a former Catholic chapel that adjoins the house. The Foxcote House estate has been valued at £20 million. The Wexners have refurbished the house and have purchased surrounding land to restore its estate. The Wexners are financial supporters of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), and in a video tour of Foxcote House made for the international company of the RSC, it is stated that at the time of the Wexners' purchase, the top floor of the house had been sealed off for 50 years and the house was in a state of "complete dilapidation". In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Sarah Holman, the daughter of Christopher Boot Holman, said that the Wexners "have spent a fortune on new windows and they have done lots of marvellous things" but that they had also turned the house into a "...glorified shooting lodge." It is not what I would have called "fabulous inside."
