East Challow is a small, largely residential village and civil parish in the district of Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. Set in gently rolling chalk country famous for features such as the Uffington White Horse, it sits close to the market town of Wantage and enjoys countryside footpaths, a local mix of historic cottages and later housing, and a sense of village community.
The settlement has long agricultural roots on chalky soils and was transferred from historic Berkshire to Oxfordshire in 1974; today many residents commute to nearby centres while local life revolves around village events, the parish church, and the rural landscape with its small streams such as the nearby Letcombe Brook.
