Besselsleigh is a small rural parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, a short drive from Oxford and market towns such as Abingdon and Faringdon. It sits amid gentle, rolling farmland with pockets of ancient woodland, quiet lanes and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful countryside setting.
The settlement retains a distinctly historic character centred on its old manor and church, its name reflecting the medieval family who once held the manor.
