Nettlebed is a compact village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on the scarp and woodland of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits amid rolling beechwoods and chalk downland, with easy walking country lanes and close enough to market towns such as Henley-on-Thames for everyday facilities while retaining a distinctly rural feel.
The settlement has a strong local character shaped by its past clay-working and brick- and pottery-making industries, a scattering of historic cottages and a traditional parish church, and a lively community life centred on the village hall and pubs. Nettlebed also has a well-known folk-music tradition and regular village events, but today its economy is largely mixed rural and commuter-based, with local small businesses and leisure visitors who come for the countryside and walking routes.
