Ascott-under-Wychwood is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in the shallow valley of the River Evenlode close to remnants of the ancient Wychwood Forest. The name reflects Old English origins and the “under Wychwood” suffix points to its long association with the old royal forest; the village retains a compact core of Cotswold stone houses and a church with medieval fabric, making much of the centre a conservation area.
Life in Ascott-under-Wychwood is largely rural and community-focused, with farming alongside small local businesses, a village hall, pub and school providing social glue and regular events such as fetes and clubs. Its attractive setting and easy reach of the Cotswolds and Oxford make it popular both with residents who commute and with walkers and visitors exploring the countryside.
