Berinsfield is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, sitting a few miles to the south of Oxford on the edge of the Thames valley. It was created in the post‑war period on the site of a former airfield, RAF Mount Farm, and is notable as one of the planned communities built to rehouse families after the Second World War, so its layout and mid‑20th‑century housing stock give the village a distinctly modern origin compared with surrounding settlements.
The parish combines a mix of council and private housing with local shops, community facilities and a modest business presence, and has seen periodic regeneration to improve amenities. Archaeological finds in the area and its riverside setting lend a longer historical and landscape context, while good road links make it a quiet commuter base for people working in and around Oxford and the broader Thames valley.
