Horspath is a compact village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, lying just to the east of Oxford at the foot of Shotover Hill and alongside Shotover Country Park. Its setting gives broad views across the Thames Valley and easy access to walks and woodlands that were once part of the royal hunting grounds, so the countryside character is a defining feature despite the village’s proximity to the city.
Horspath has a recognisably historic core with a parish church and a small cluster of traditional cottages, and its 19th- and 20th-century brick and clay workings left a visible mark on the local landscape and economy. Today many residents commute into Oxford and the neighbouring industrial and science areas, yet the village maintains an active community life with a village hall, pub and local events that underline its rural identity within easy reach of the city.
