Cumnor is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, lying a few miles west of Oxford. Perched on the northern edge of the vale beside Cumnor Hill and near the university’s research area at Wytham Woods, it offers pleasant views across the Thames valley and easy access to countryside walks.
With medieval origins, Cumnor has an interesting historic note in the old manor known as Cumnor Place, linked in legend to the 16th‑century Amy Robsart affair. Today it combines a lively village community - shops, pubs, events and good schools - with a largely commuter economy tied to Oxford, alongside remaining local agriculture and university‑linked employment, making it a sought‑after spot for those wanting rural character close to the city.
