The rural civil parish of Goring Heath sits on the wooded northern escarpment of the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. The landscape is a mix of ancient beech woodland, hedged farmland and quiet lanes, offering fine views down towards the Thames valley and a network of footpaths popular with walkers and riders.
Its small villages and hamlets retain a strong local identity with village halls, church and community groups, and a local economy rooted in farming alongside commuters and small rural businesses. Historic cottages and estate features reflect a long rural heritage, while proximity to the River Thames and nearby stations at Goring-on-Thames make it attractive to day visitors and those seeking countryside within easy reach of larger towns.
