The ward covers the adjacent villages of Kennington and Radley on the southern fringe of Oxford in the district of Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. It sits between the city and open countryside, with the River Thames and the series of former gravel pits known as Radley Lakes providing useful wildlife habitat and informal recreational space, while Radley railway station gives easy commuter links into Oxford and beyond.
The area mixes historic village cores and listed buildings with newer housing developments and a varied community of families, commuters and school staff, shaped in part by the presence of the 19th‑century school Radley College. Local life is centred on parish events, village halls and green spaces, and the local economy is largely service‑ and commuter‑driven, with small shops and active community groups keeping a distinctly village feel despite the proximity to the city.
