Map of the UK

Waterstock is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Sitting in gently rolling countryside, the settlement retains a distinctly rural character with traditional stone cottages and farmed land; its history as a manorial village is still visible in surviving estate buildings and the layout of lanes and laneside trees.

The parish is perhaps best known locally for the large private estate and parkland which hosts equestrian activities and private events, providing a notable cultural and economic focus beyond purely agricultural activity. Community life is quiet and village-centred, with a small population, occasional local events and easy commuting access to nearby towns and Oxford, which shapes much of the contemporary social and economic pattern.
