Clifton Hampden is a compact riverside parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sited on the south bank of the River Thames a few miles from Abingdon and within easy reach of Oxford. The village is noted for its attractive stretch of Thames frontage, traditional stone cottages clustered around a village green and a mid‑19th century church by a prominent Victorian architect; a 19th‑century bridge across the river gives the place a distinctly picturesque, historic character.
Locally the economy is largely rural and residential - farming still shapes the surrounding landscape while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities. Social life centres on community institutions such as the village hall and the riverside pub, with boating, fishing and walking along the Thames contributing to a steady stream of visitors and a strong sense of village community.
