The small civil parish of Poundon sits in rural Buckinghamshire, close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire. It occupies a landscape of rolling arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, giving it a distinctly rural character while still being within reasonable driving distance of larger towns such as Bicester and Aylesbury.
The parish has traditionally been agricultural with a handful of country houses, including the estate at Poundon House, and in the 20th century parts of the area were linked with communications and military uses. Today it remains a quiet, lightly populated community of farms and residences, with a mix of historic buildings and residents who often commute to nearby centres for work.
