The electoral ward of Alvescot and Filkins sits in West Oxfordshire on the western edge of Oxfordshire in England. It is a small, largely rural ward of stone cottages, working farms and rolling countryside, with historic parish churches, a village hall and a pub that form the core of local community life.
Traditionally agricultural, the local economy has diversified with a handful of small businesses and heritage crafts - Filkins in particular is known for its woollen and craft activity - and the area is popular with walkers and those seeking easy access to the Cotswolds. Conservation, listed buildings and an active programme of fêtes and clubs keep the ward socially engaged while retaining a distinctly village character.
