Chilton is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, sitting in the low-lying agricultural landscape east of Didcot. It combines a quietly rural character - fields, lanes and a compact village centre - with unusually close links to modern science and technology because of its proximity to Harwell and the Harwell Campus.
Historically the area shares the long heritage of the Vale (administratively part of Berkshire until 1974), but today the local economy and social life are shaped by a mix of farming, commuters and people working at nearby research sites such as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, giving Chilton a blend of traditional village community amenities and a more outward‑looking, high‑tech flavour.
