Alvescot is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on the gentle, rolling countryside at the western edge of the Cotswolds. It sits a short distance from market towns such as Bampton and Carterton, and enjoys the characteristic mix of stone cottages, farmland and winding lanes found across the area.
The village has a quietly historic feel, with a long agricultural tradition, a parish community focused around village amenities and a medieval church, and a local economy shaped by farming alongside commuting patterns to nearby towns and to Oxford. Proximity to the RAF station at Brize Norton and the tourism draw of the Cotswolds also influence social and economic life, giving Alvescot a blend of rural tranquillity and links to wider regional activity.
