Longworth is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Vale of White Horse, in Oxfordshire, England. Traditionally part of Berkshire until boundary changes in the 1970s, it sits in the gentle, agricultural landscape of the Vale where chalk downs meet fertile lowlands, making it a quiet, mostly farming community within easy reach of Oxford and the rolling historic countryside of the region.
The village retains a strong sense of history and local identity, with a parish church of medieval origins and a cluster of older houses and farmsteads. Residents often point to the area's proximity to prehistoric and historic landmarks such as the Uffington White Horse and other Ridgeway sites, while economically the parish is still rooted in agriculture with many people commuting to nearby towns for work, giving Longworth a close‑knit, semi‑rural character.
