Nuneham Courtenay sits in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England on the south bank of the Thames, about five miles south‑east of Oxford and near Abingdon. The parish is best known for its 18th‑century country house and the sweeping parkland remodelled by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for the Harcourt family, when the original village was moved to create the designed landscape and long views across the Thames valley.
Today the estate’s mature trees, parkland and riverside setting give the parish a strong rural character that attracts walkers and garden visitors; the settlement itself remains small and largely estate‑oriented, with many residents commuting to Oxford or nearby towns, while occasional public openings and events keep a cultural link to its Georgian heritage.
