East Hendred is a small, historic village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, set beneath the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and near the ancient track of the Ridgeway. The village sits on the gentle valley of Letcombe Brook and retains a cluster of thatched cottages, a medieval church and several historic houses, reflecting a long rural past that was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes.
Today the community mixes agriculture and local services with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Didcot and the science and technology hub at Harwell, while local life is sustained by a lively village museum, annual events and a strong sense of local identity; the surrounding chalk downland and nearby White Horse Hill also make it popular with walkers and anyone interested in prehistoric and historic landscapes.
