Oxenton is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the northern slopes of Oxenton Hill on the Cotswold escarpment. The parish is largely rural, with rolling limestone countryside that gives wide views across the Severn Vale to Bredon Hill and the Malvern Hills, and it lies close to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
Historically an agricultural community of farms and stone cottages, Oxenton retains a quiet, village atmosphere and a small number of listed buildings; the local economy is still dominated by farming though many residents now commute to nearby towns such as Cheltenham and Gloucester. Social life tends to be close‑knit, centred on village events and the network of lanes and footpaths that link the scattered hamlets and neighbouring parishes.
