Steventon is a small rural village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, set in the low-lying, chalky farmland typical of the vale. It sits within easy reach of larger centres such as Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage and Oxford, and the surrounding landscape links into the same downland and ancient trackways that give the area its distinctive rolling character.
The village has the quiet, agricultural feel of many places in the vale, with community life often focused around the parish church and village amenities; historically the area was part of Berkshire until county boundary changes in 1974. Visitors and residents benefit from nearby heritage features like the ridgeway country and the famous Uffington White Horse, while economically the settlement combines farming with commuter links into the nearby towns and the wider Thames Valley employment belt.
