Map of the UK

Coleshill is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, set in the gentle, farmed landscape of the vale rather than on any industrial corridor. The area has long agricultural roots and sits within a district famed for its rolling chalk downland and prehistoric features, and the village itself still shows a historic core of older stone and timber cottages and a compact settlement pattern reflecting centuries of local life. Historically the parish was administered in Berkshire until county boundary changes in the 1970s moved it into Oxfordshire.

Today Coleshill combines a quiet, community-orientated social life with an economy still influenced by farming alongside residents who commute to larger towns. It attracts walkers and those who appreciate rural conservation and village-scale heritage, and its small-scale amenities and village hall underpin local clubs and events that keep a close-knit rural character alive.
