Longcot is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting in gently rolling farmland not far from the A420 between Swindon and Oxford. The settlement lies close to Faringdon and Shrivenham and enjoys the characteristic mix of arable fields, commons and hedgerow-lined lanes that mark the Oxfordshire–Berkshire border; it was historically part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes.
Longcot retains a quiet village character with a historic church and traditional cottages, and a community life centred on local events, the pub and village hall; agriculture remains visible in the local economy, while many residents commute to nearby towns or work at local research and defence establishments. Its position near ancient routes and downs gives it a pleasant rural appeal and a sense of layered history despite its modest size.
