Banbury Grimsbury and Hightown is the northern neighbourhood of Banbury in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England. It sits close to the Oxford Canal and the River Cherwell, and is characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war housing and some newer developments on former industrial land.
The area has a strong canal and industrial heritage and today combines local shops, schools and community facilities with pockets of regeneration; a socially mixed population gives it a lively, working‑town feel, and good road and rail links (including access to the M40 corridor) keep it connected to larger centres.
