Stanford in the Vale is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the small River Ock amid gentle agricultural lowland with chalk downland to the south, a few miles from Faringdon and Wantage. The settlement has medieval roots and historic buildings, including a long-standing parish church and examples of old manor houses; it was part of Berkshire until the 1974 county boundary changes.
Today Stanford in the Vale combines a lively village community - with a primary school, village hall, pubs and local shops - with a still-active agricultural hinterland. Many residents commute to nearby centres such as Oxford, Swindon and Didcot, while walkers and cyclists appreciate the proximity of routes like The Ridgeway and the distinctive White Horse country on the surrounding downs.
