Upton is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England. It sits in a gently undulating, mainly agricultural landscape typical of the vale, with hedgerowed fields and distant chalk hills; the settlement retains a handful of older cottages and farmhouses and its name reflects the Old English roots of many local place‑names.
The parish has a small, close‑knit community and an economy still anchored in farming, though many residents now commute to nearby market towns such as Wantage and Faringdon or to regional centres like Oxford and Swindon. Its quiet lanes and proximity to downland make it attractive for walkers and anyone interested in the rural history and landscape of the vale.
