Ardington is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the scarp of the chalk downs of the Berkshire Downs, close to the ancient Ridgeway and the area famous for the Uffington White Horse, so the parish is characterised by rolling downland, farmland and attractive village streets.
The community has long rural roots, with traditional cottages, a notable country house and an agricultural estate shaping local life; residents combine farming and village activities with commuting to nearby towns such as Wantage and Didcot. Transferred from Berkshire to Oxfordshire in 1974, Ardington still preserves a strong local identity and occasional public events and estate open days that reflect its historic and cultural landscape.
