Fernham is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. Set among rolling chalk downland and mixed arable farmland, it lies a few miles from market towns such as Faringdon and Wantage, offering a tranquil rural feel with straightforward road links to Oxford and Swindon.
The community retains a strong agricultural character alongside a number of historic cottages and farmsteads, and many residents commute to nearby centres for work; administratively the area was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes. Outdoor walkers value the proximity of chalk downland and ancient routes like the Ridgeway, while village life tends to revolve around small local events and the parish’s historic landscape.
