Appleford-on-Thames is a small riverside village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. Sitting on the south bank of the River Thames and within easy reach of Didcot and Oxford, it combines quiet floodplain meadows and remnants of orchard country with practical rail links via a small local station to nearby towns and the city.
The village retains a distinctly rural, historic feel - its parish church has medieval origins and the settlement was transferred from Berkshire in the 1974 boundary changes - and a close‑knit community life centred on local events, walks along the Thames and countryside pursuits; the tranquil lanes and riverside setting make it popular with walkers and commuters alike.
