Yarnton is a village and civil parish in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Oxford. It sits on the edge of the city’s commuter belt, with a mix of historic stone cottages and later housing, and benefits from good road links while retaining a semi‑rural setting close to small woodlands and farmland.
The village has a lively community life centred on a village hall, school, pub and local sports clubs, and its fabric still shows its agricultural and manorial past - notably Yarnton Manor and an old parish church - which give it a distinct historic character. Its combination of countryside character and easy access to Oxford makes Yarnton popular with families and commuters who value village life within reach of city amenities.
