Wheatley is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, sitting a few miles east of Oxford on rising ground at the edge of the Chiltern scarp. Its position gives easy access to city amenities while still feeling rural, with surrounding arable fields, woodlands and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and commuters alike.
The village has a compact historic core with a parade of local shops, pubs and community facilities, and there is a distinctive disused windmill on the hill that serves as a familiar local landmark. Historically tied to agriculture and local trades, modern Wheatley balances village life and community events with many residents working in Oxford or beyond.
