Pyrton is a small rural village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills close to Watlington Hill. The surrounding landscape of chalk downland, beech woodland and pasture forms part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a network of public footpaths offering views across the Vale of Oxford and good access for walkers.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots centred on its parish church and manor house, and it still feels like a traditional village community. Agriculture remains important locally, but many residents now commute to nearby towns such as Oxford or Reading; village life is marked by church and community events and countryside pursuits like walking and riding.
