Cothill is a small village in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting in gently rolling agricultural countryside within easy reach of Oxford and Abingdon. The village has a distinctly rural, close‑knit feel and is best known locally for the long‑established prep school Cothill House, which shapes much of the social life and footfall in the area.
Geographically the settlement is notable for the nearby Cothill Fen, a nationally important calcareous fen designated for its rare wetland habitats and species, and conservation work is a visible part of local life. Economically the area remains largely agricultural, supplemented by employment from the school and nature‑conservation activity; historically it also has the mixed identity of having been part of Berkshire before the 1970s boundary changes placed it in Oxfordshire.
