Shellingford is a small, rural parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, set on the southern slopes of the Berkshire Downs and within easy reach of the ancient track of the Ridgeway and the market town of Faringdon. The village enjoys wide chalkland views and a patchwork of farmland, hedgerows and small woodland that give it a distinctly downland character.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, Shellingford retains a compact village core centred on its parish church and a handful of listed houses and a country house with parkland. Local life is quiet and community-led, shaped by farming and by residents who commute to nearby towns; the parish was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes that placed it in Oxfordshire.
