Radley is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, lying a short distance from Oxford and close to Abingdon. It sits near the River Thames and is notable for the former gravel pits known as Radley Lakes, which are now a patchwork of lakes, reedbeds and wildlife-rich margins popular with walkers, birdwatchers and anglers.
The village is dominated in character by Radley College, a large 19th‑century boarding school with distinctive Gothic buildings, and has historically developed around the college and the railway. Today Radley functions largely as a commuter community with a railway station offering regular services towards Oxford and Didcot, while still retaining local pubs, shops and an active village feel.
