Cumnor is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting on rising ground at Cumnor Hill about three miles west of Oxford. Its origins are medieval and it was historically part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes; the parish is often noted for its association with the 16th‑century Amy Robsart legend and the site of the former manor, Cumnor Place.
Today Cumnor blends a rural character - surrounding farmland and nearby Wytham Woods used for ecological study - with a commuter population working in Oxford, small local businesses, pubs and active community groups. The combination of historic buildings, leafy lanes and easy access to the city gives the area a distinctive mix of heritage and suburban convenience.
