Bampton is a small historic market town and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire in England. It sits on the fringe of the Cotswolds and is noted for its honey‑coloured stone houses, narrow streets and a prominent medieval parish church, giving the place a distinctly traditional rural character.
Community life is lively for a settlement of its size: Bampton is famous for its long‑running Morris‑dancing tradition and a steady calendar of local events, and has become familiar to a wider audience as a film and television location.
