Lockinge is a small, largely rural parish in the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, made up mainly of the neighbouring villages of East Lockinge and West Lockinge. Set on the chalky slopes that fringe the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has a distinctive estate‑shaped layout and a mix of farmland, woods and traditional cottages; the area was historically part of Berkshire until county boundary changes in the 1970s.
Local life is shaped by agriculture and estate management, with many residents also commuting to nearby towns such as Wantage, Didcot or Oxford. The parish is popular with walkers and riders thanks to quiet lanes and nearby long-distance paths, and retains a tight-knit village feel with community events and countryside pursuits reflecting its long rural history.
