Radley is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, lying just south of Oxford and close to Abingdon on the edge of the River Thames floodplain. The landscape is marked by former gravel workings now known as Radley Lakes, which have become an important local wildlife and recreational resource and give the parish a mix of waterside and agricultural character.
The village has a strong local identity centred on community amenities and the presence of Radley College, a prominent 19th‑century boarding school whose grounds and Boat Club are a notable cultural and economic influence. Good rail links from Radley railway station and easy road access make it a popular place for commuters to Oxford and Didcot, while historic buildings such as the parish church underline a long rural history that blends with modern residential life.
