Rotherfield Peppard is a small, picturesque village and civil parish in the district of South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, lying just a few miles north of Henley-on-Thames on the edge of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its landscape of commons, woodlands and rolling chalk hills makes it popular with walkers and riders, and the village retains a historic feel with an Anglican church, traditional cottages and a small conservation area reflecting medieval and later rural roots.
Economically the parish is largely residential with a mix of local small businesses, equestrian activity and agriculture, while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities such as Reading and London. Social life centres on village institutions - the church, village hall and pub - and local events, giving Rotherfield Peppard a close-knit community atmosphere despite its proximity to larger urban centres.
