Mapledurham is a small rural civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on a pronounced loop of the River Thames opposite Purley-on-Thames and close to Reading. The landscape mixes wooded slopes, open farmland and riverside meadows, giving the parish a picturesque character much enjoyed by walkers, boaters and photographers.
Locally the economy leans on agriculture and heritage tourism centred on the Elizabethan country house Mapledurham House and its adjoining historic watermill, both notable for their architecture, historic machinery and occasional public events. With a very small population and limited public transport the area retains a quiet, village feel, though many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
