Frilford is a small, rural parish set in the gentle lowlands of the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, England, a short drive from the market town of Abingdon and the railway hub at Didcot. The area combines farmland and pockets of heathland, notably Frilford Heath, which gives a more open, recreational character to part of the parish and hosts golf and leisure facilities used by locals and visitors.
The parish has long roots and has produced archaeological finds from the Roman period - burial sites and settlement traces have been investigated nearby - while its present-day life is a mix of farming, small-scale local services and commuter households who travel to nearby towns and to Oxford. Community activity centres on the village church and hall, and the surrounding quiet lanes and commons make it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of larger centres.
