Blewbury is a large village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. Perched on the scarp of the Berkshire Downs within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it boasts prehistoric features such as Bronze Age barrows and the Iron Age site on Blewburton Hill, alongside a medieval parish church and a high concentration of listed cottages and farm buildings.
Historically agricultural and part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary change, the village now combines farming with small businesses and commuter connections to Didcot and Oxford. A strong community life, active local societies and seasonal events help retain a distinct rural character while accommodating modern living and conservation interests.
