The village of Begbroke is a small civil parish in the district of Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, lying a few miles north of Oxford. It sits amid mixed farmland and pockets of ancient woodland, giving it a semi‑rural feel while remaining within easy reach of the city.
Historically an agricultural settlement with medieval roots, Begbroke has in recent decades become notable for the Begbroke Science Park, associated with the University of Oxford, which brings research activity, spin‑outs and small tech employers into an otherwise village economy. Local life is centred on a parish church, community events and walking routes through the surrounding countryside, so the place blends a quiet village social scene with a surprisingly strong academic and technical presence nearby.
