Cassington is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting on low-lying land close to the floodplain of the local rivers and a few miles west of Oxford and near Eynsham. The landscape is marked by former gravel workings and a series of shallow reservoirs and wetlands that now attract birdlife and anglers, giving the area a character that mixes working arable countryside with pockets of important wildlife habitat.
Historically the village grew from an agricultural core and retains a compact historic centre with a parish church and village amenities; later industrial activity such as gravel extraction and the arrival of local railway links shaped the economy and landscape. Today Cassington combines a small, locally focused community with a number of residents who commute to larger towns and Oxford, while conservation groups and local volunteers take an active interest in managing the natural and historic features that give the parish its quiet charm.
