Bourton is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, set among the rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of the county. It lies within easy reach of the market town of Banbury, which makes it convenient for commuters while still retaining a peaceful, countryside character.
Locally the economy is centred on agriculture with a scattering of small businesses and households who work outside the village; its historic feel is reflected in traditional stone and brick cottages, a parish church and remnants of former open‑field farming. Community life tends to be close‑knit, organised around a village hall and occasional events that keep social ties strong despite the rural setting.
