Long Wittenham is a small riverside village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on the rolling chalk of the Thames valley. The village sits beneath the well‑known Wittenham Clumps (the Sinodun Hills), a pair of wooded hilltops that dominate the local skyline and are popular for walks, views and wildlife; the landscape and village show clear signs of prehistoric and Roman activity, and the parish retains a number of historic buildings including its medieval church.
Traditionally agricultural, Long Wittenham now combines farming with a commuter population who travel to nearby towns such as Didcot and Abingdon or onwards to Oxford and beyond. Local life is marked by active conservation work around the Clumps, community events and the informal village atmosphere typical of small Oxfordshire settlements, with easy access to riverside walking and the nearby historic market village of Dorchester‑on‑Thames.
