South Moreton is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting a few miles south of Didcot and close to its twin village, North Moreton. The settlement retains a distinctly rural character - ribboned by country lanes, farmland and clusters of traditional stone and brick cottages - and its origins are medieval, reflected in a parish church and a compact historic core that survives as a conservation-minded village landscape.
Economically the parish has long been agricultural, though many residents now commute to nearby towns and to Oxford, making it a quiet commuter-friendly community. Social life tends to centre on a village hall, local events and a pub or two, with a mix of long-standing local families and newer arrivals who value the village’s calm, community-focused atmosphere and easy access to regional rail and road links.
