Goosey is a small, quiet civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, formerly part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes. It sits in a patchwork of arable fields and hedgerows with narrow lanes and bridleways leading towards the rolling chalk of the Berkshire Downs, and is within easy reach of prehistoric landmarks such as the Uffington White Horse.
The area retains a distinctly agricultural character, dominated by farmsteads and a scattering of historic cottages, while many residents commute to nearby market towns and employment centres such as Wantage, Faringdon and Didcot. Low‑key village life, good walking country and a strong sense of local history make Goosey typical of the quieter rural communities in the Vale.
