Chilton is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. Situated in gently rolling chalk countryside, it keeps a distinctly rural feel of farms and historic cottages while sitting close to the science and technology cluster around Harwell, including the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, with the market town of Didcot nearby and straightforward commuter links to Oxford and Reading.
Historically the village was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes, and the wider area is noted for chalk downland and landmarks such as the Uffington White Horse. Locally Chilton offers a compact community with a parish church, village hall and rural events, combining agricultural roots with ready access to modern employment and transport.
