Milton is a small rural parish on the northern edge of the market town of Didcot in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. It sits against gently rolling farmland and lies within reach of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the River Thames, so there are plenty of footpaths, hedgerows and long views typical of the area; the name hints at historic agricultural and milling roots, and the settlement retains a compact, village-like feel.
The parish is notable for Milton Park, a large business and science campus that has transformed the local economy by bringing offices, research labs and light industry alongside traditional rural activity. That mix gives the community a blend of commuters and local workers, with good rail connections from nearby Didcot into Oxford and London, while still feeling distinctly semi-rural.
