Burcot is a small riverside village in the district of South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set beside the River Thames. It retains a quietly rural, residential feel with riverside cottages, narrow lanes and surrounding farmland; historically the hamlet grew up around river trade and small local industry, and a number of older 18th‑ and 19th‑century houses give the place a tucked‑away character.
Today Burcot is popular with people looking for countryside living within reach of larger centres such as Wallingford and Oxford, and its social and cultural life tends to be closely linked to neighbouring villages and market towns. The riverside location makes it a pleasant base for walking, birdwatching and informal boating, while local services are limited so residents often travel out for shops and community events.
