The village and civil parish of Shrivenham sits in the rolling farmland of the Vale of White Horse on the edge of the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire, England. It enjoys views towards the downs and easy access to the Ridgeway and the iconic Uffington White Horse, while remaining within easy commuting distance of Swindon and Faringdon.
Shrivenham has medieval roots and a recognisable historic core, and was transferred from Berkshire to Oxfordshire in the 1974 boundary changes. A significant local presence is the nearby military and academic estate, home to the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, which complements a largely agricultural and commuter economy; village life is active with a primary school, village hall and sports clubs that sustain a close-knit community.
