The village and parish of Little Wittenham sits in the low-lying countryside of South Oxfordshire in Oxfordshire, England, close to the River Thames and within easy reach of Didcot and Wallingford. Its skyline is dominated by the famous Wittenham Clumps - a pair of wooded chalk hills crowned with beech trees and ancient earthworks that offer panoramic views and draw walkers, birdwatchers and photographers year-round.
The parish blends a long agricultural history with a strong conservation and recreational role today: the slopes and adjacent meadows are looked after by the Earth Trust as a nature reserve rich in wildflowers, butterflies and breeding birds. With a small, mainly residential population, the social fabric tends to be quiet and community-minded, with archaeology, wildlife and local walks providing the main economic and cultural focus rather than industry.
