Deddington is a small historic market town in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, set on high ground above the valley of the River Cherwell and roughly six miles south of Banbury. The town has a compact, picturesque core of stone and brick buildings with narrow streets, making it popular with walkers exploring the fringes of the Cotswolds and attractive to commuters heading into Oxford and nearby centres.
Historically it grew from a medieval market and retains features such as the Norman church and the motte-and-bailey earthworks of an old castle; today its economy mixes local agriculture, independent shops, pubs and a regular farmers’ market, while a lively community scene supports clubs, seasonal events and arts activities that give the town a strong village feel despite its long history.
