Map of the UK

Carterton North West is the north‑western part of the market town of Carterton in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. Predominantly residential, it contains a mix of post‑war and more recent housing developments and is strongly influenced by the nearby Brize Norton air base, which shapes the local economy, demographics and community life with a notable number of service families and commuters.

Geographically the ward sits on the edge of the Oxfordshire countryside and the Cotswolds fringe, with easy road links to Witney and Oxford. Local life centres on small parades of shops, schools and community facilities, and the area often feels the pressures and benefits of rapid growth and the transient population linked to military postings.
