Bladon is a small village in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, in England, sitting just a short distance north of Woodstock and the grand parkland of Blenheim Palace. The setting is typically Cotswold-edge countryside with a mix of farmland and residential ribbon development; its closeness to Oxford and decent road links give it a quietly commuter-friendly feel while retaining a compact village character.
Historically and culturally the village is best known for St Martin's Church and the Churchill family gravesite, which attracts visitors interested in 20th‑century history. Today Bladon balances local life and occasional tourist interest, with a small local economy rooted in neighbourhood services and rural enterprises and a lively parish community that stages events and activities for residents.
