The civil parish of Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney sits in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, grouping the small settlements of Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney. It occupies low-lying countryside on the fringes of the Thames valley, with riverside meadows, hedged arable fields and a network of streams that give the area a quietly pastoral character.
