Charlbury sits in the rolling countryside of West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, on the edge of the Cotswolds. The small town clusters around the shallow valley of the River Evenlode and retains a compact, historic core of stone houses and narrow streets with a medieval parish church and a long-established market-town feel.

Locally the economy blends agriculture, small independent shops and pubs, and a commuter element thanks to the Cotswold Line railway that links Charlbury with Oxford and London. It has an active community life - volunteers, societies and annual markets and events keep the social scene lively, while the attractive setting draws walkers and visitors exploring the surrounding countryside.
