Lower Heyford is a small village in the district of Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, set where the rural River Cherwell meanders close to the towpath of the Oxford Canal. The waterways and a small station on the Cherwell Valley Line give the village a pleasantly accessible feel, with easy links towards Bicester and Banbury while still feeling distinctly rural.
Historically a riverside and farming community, Lower Heyford retains a mix of stone cottages, a village pub and community hall and a historic parish church, with canal-boat traffic and walkers a regular part of village life. Many residents now combine local agricultural or leisure businesses with commuting to nearby towns, and the village sits close to Upper Heyford and its former RAF base, which has contributed to the area's more recent history and redevelopment.
