Lewknor is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, set on the scarp of the Chiltern Hills where chalk downland drops towards the Vale of Oxford. The parish sits close to the M40 and historic routes such as the Icknield Way, making it both a peaceful rural community and an easy base for commuters or walkers; the nearby market town of Watlington and the protected beech woods and chalk grassland give the area its characteristic skyline and biodiversity.
Locally the economy and social life remain rooted in agriculture and small-scale local services, with a medieval parish church, a village pub and community events that reflect its long history. Conservation sites such as the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve close by are important for chalkland orchids and butterflies, and the parish’s lanes and footpaths are popular with people exploring the Chilterns’ natural and historical landscape.
