"Arrow" is a village in the Stratford-on-Avon Warwickshire, England. From Alcester the River Arrow flows southwards to the Avon, and to the west of the river the present road to Evesham joins that to Worcester at a busy junction where, near the Old Toll House, stands the hamlet of Arrow, a group of modernized black and white farm workers' cottages which have risen up the social scale to become homes for business people.

Arrow Mill was mentioned in the Domesday Book and is now a restaurant as well as a mill. In the village are the gates to Ragley Hall which has been home to the Marquess of Hertford's family since the mid 1700s. In the village church is a statue of one of the Marquesses sculpted by Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a nephew of Queen Victoria.
