Kingston Blount is a small village in the district of South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills, close to the chalk grassland and beechwoods of the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve, and is a popular base for walkers using the nearby Ridgeway and exploring the distinctive scarp landscape.
The settlement retains a largely rural, agricultural character with a compact, community-focused social life and a mix of stone cottages and more modern homes. Local activity revolves around farming, small businesses and recreational tourism, while many residents commute to larger centres such as Oxford or London via the M40 or local rail connections at Chinnor and Princes Risborough, giving the village a quiet but well-connected feel.
