Lower Clopton sits beneath Meon Hill on the B4632, between Stratford upon Avon (6 miles) and Chipping Campden (4 miles). Meon Hill, scene of the infamous 'witchcraft' murder of 1945 lies to the east of the property. Meon hill is said to have provided inspiration for Tolkein's 'Weathertop' from Lord of The Rings.
