Uffington sits in the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, England, tucked beneath the famous prehistoric chalk figure, the Uffington White Horse, on White Horse Hill. The village occupies the scarp of the Berkshire Downs within the North Wessex Downs AONB, with the ancient Ridgeway passing nearby and the Iron Age hillfort of Uffington Castle and the curious mound of Dragon Hill close at hand, making it a focus for archaeology and landscape history.
Local life remains largely agricultural, but the steady flow of walkers, school parties and heritage visitors who come for the hill figure and surrounding earthworks gives a lively rural economy and community atmosphere; everyday services and wider facilities are reached in nearby Faringdon and Wantage. The combination of deep antiquity, open chalk downland and a tight-knit village community makes Uffington distinctive on the English downs.
