Grove is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, historically part of Berkshire until local government changes in 1974. It sits just a short distance from the market town of Wantage and adjoins the big RAF station at RAF Brize Norton, whose presence has shaped recent population growth, local housing and employment while also giving the village stronger transport and commuter links towards Oxford and Swindon.
Geographically Grove lies in the fertile lowland of the Vale with views up to the Berkshire Downs, and is handy for countryside walks on the Ridgeway. The local economy is a mix of agriculture, base‑related jobs, small businesses and commuter households, and the village still retains a lively community feel with clubs, pubs and village events alongside pockets of light industry and modern housing.
