Letcombe Regis is a small village and parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting in a narrow chalk valley at the foot of the Berkshire Downs. The settlement straddles the clear chalk-stream Letcombe Brook, a notable ecological feature that supports water crowfoot, brown trout and kingfishers and has been the focus of local conservation work. The suffix "Regis" reflects historic royal ownership, and the village was part of Berkshire until county boundary changes in 1974.
Architectural and historic interest centres on the parish church of St Andrew with medieval elements, while the present-day community is a mix of traditional agriculture and residents who commute to nearby towns such as Wantage, Didcot and Oxford. The village is also within easy reach of the ancient downland and iconic landscape of the Uffington White Horse, making it appealing to walkers and those interested in rural heritage.
