St. Helen Without is a largely rural civil parish in the district of Vale of White Horse, in Oxfordshire, sitting immediately around the western and southern fringes of Abingdon. The area occupies low-lying, fertile river plain beside the River Thames with pasture, small woods and arable fields, and offers views towards the surrounding chalk downs that characterise the vale.
Historically it grew out of the old ecclesiastical parish associated with St Helen in Abingdon, and today retains a quiet village character with scattered hamlets, parish halls and village pubs. Economically it remains rooted in agriculture while many residents commute to nearby towns and to Oxford, and the parish is popular for walking and wildlife watching thanks to its meadows, riverbanks and network of public footpaths.
