Garsington is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, a few miles south‑east of Oxford. It sits in rolling countryside of mixed farmland and hedgerows on the edge of the city’s green belt, combining a traditional rural character with a significant commuter population who work in Oxford and the surrounding towns. The local economy still includes farming and small businesses, while public footpaths and bridleways make it popular with walkers.
The village is best known for Garsington Manor, the early 20th‑century home of Lady Ottoline Morrell and a meeting place for writers and artists associated with the Bloomsbury circle, and for hosting summer opera performances for many years. Community life centres on a village hall, church and pub, giving Garsington a quiet, culturally informed feel that blends history with active village life.
