Longcot is a small village in the rolling countryside of the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, England. Historically part of Berkshire until local government changes in 1974, it sits amid mixed farmland and chalk downland typical of the area, with the ancient landscapes of the Ridgeway and the famous Uffington White Horse nearby and the small watercourses such as the River Ock running through the vale.
The community retains a distinctly rural character with agricultural roots but now combines long‑standing residents with commuters who work in places like Swindon, Oxford and Wantage. Local life centres on village institutions, community events and parish traditions, while proximity to nearby settlements such as Shrivenham and its defence training facilities also influences the local economy.
