Bampton is a small historic market town in the district of West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. It sits in low-lying countryside close to the edge of the Cotswolds, with a compact centre of stone houses, a medieval parish church and a traditional market square that reflect its long history as a local trading place.
The town retains a lively community feel: it is famed for its long-established Morris side and for hosting the informal Bampton Classical Opera, and it gained wider recognition as a filming location for period drama. The local economy combines agriculture and small businesses with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Witney and Oxford, while village clubs and annual events keep social life active.
