Kidlington is a large village and civil parish in the district of Cherwell in the county of Oxfordshire, England, lying just north of Oxford. Often described as one of England’s biggest villages, it combines a traditional high street and conservation areas with suburban housing and green spaces, so it still feels distinctly villagey despite its size.
The local economy mixes shops and small industry with on‑site aviation services at London Oxford Airport, and many residents commute into Oxford or further afield thanks to good road links towards the M40. With medieval origins, a number of historic buildings and active community groups, Kidlington has a lively civic life that sits comfortably between town and country.
