Aston, Cote, Shifford and Chimney

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.

Historically agricultural, the parish retains clusters of traditional cottages, farmhouses and medieval parish churches set against open views, and there are traces of earlier settlement in places. Today it combines a strong local community life - village halls, occasional events and countryside pursuits - with some residents who commute to nearby towns such as Witney and Oxford, while walkers and wildlife enthusiasts value the easy access to riverside walks and birdlife.
