Bruern is a very small, quiet civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire in England, set in gently rolling countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds. The landscape is largely agricultural – pasture and arable fields with hedgerows and small copses – so there is no real village centre, just scattered houses and farmsteads that give it a distinctly rural, low‑density character.
Locally notable is the presence of historic buildings on the estate that occupies much of the parish, including the site associated with Bruern Abbey, and the area’s history is shaped by those landed estates and farming. Today the parish remains quiet and largely residential or agricultural in economy, valued for its tranquillity and attractive walking country rather than shops or services, and it attracts those who appreciate rural life close to better‑known Oxfordshire towns.
