Ashbury is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the chalk downs within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape is classic rolling countryside with views across sheep-grazed downland and easy access to ancient routes such as the Ridgeway, with the prehistoric Uffington White Horse and nearby hillforts forming a striking historic backdrop.
The settlement retains a medieval church and a mix of traditional cottages, reflecting a long agricultural heritage; today farming remains important but many residents commute to nearby towns such as Wantage and Swindon. Local life is quietly community-minded, centred on village events, walking and conservation activities that celebrate the parish’s rural character and archaeological richness.
