Map of the UK

Piddington is a small rural village in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, set among rolling arable fields and hedged lanes a short distance from the larger town of Bicester. Its setting gives a sense of quiet countryside, with public footpaths and surviving historic cottages and farm buildings that hint at medieval roots and an agricultural past.

Today the village combines farming traditions with a commuter element thanks to good road and rail links into Oxford and beyond, so its social life is a mix of long‑standing local networks and newer residents. Community activities tend to centre on village gatherings and informal local groups, while nearby commercial growth around the Bicester area provides shops and services without altering the village’s generally tranquil character.
