Hendreds is a small, largely rural ward in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, centred on the twin villages of East Hendred and West Hendred. Set on the edge of the rolling Berkshire Downs with easy access to the ancient track of the Ridgeway, the area is noted for its patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows, timber‑framed cottages and historic parish churches that hint at a long agricultural past.
Locally there’s a strong village community with halls, pubs and annual events, while economically many residents combine farming with commuting to nearby employment hubs such as Harwell and Didcot, or market towns like Wantage. Conservation and rural leisure - walking, cycling and local history - play an important part in everyday life, giving the ward a quietly traditional but well-connected character.
