Garford is a small, rural village in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. Set on the floodplain of the River Ock and surrounded by arable fields and rolling downland, it feels quietly agricultural and well connected to the surrounding countryside, with the market towns of Abingdon and Wantage within easy reach.
Historically the area was part of Berkshire until boundary changes in 1974, and the village retains a number of traditional farmsteads, cottages and local features that reflect its long rural past. Community life is small-scale and village-focused, with local gatherings and walkers enjoying the nearby lanes and footpaths through the scenic Vale.
