Enstone is a village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It sits in rolling farmland on the edge of the Cotswolds and is a short drive from market towns such as Chipping Norton and within easy reach of Oxford. The settlement retains a traditional feel with stone cottages, farm buildings and a medieval parish church (St Kenelm), reflecting centuries of rural life.
Despite its small size, Enstone has some distinctive modern touches: the nearby Enstone Aerodrome (formerly RAF Edgehill) and the long‑running motorsport engineering base on the site, which evolved through the Benetton/Renault/Lotus lineage and brought high‑tech manufacturing and jobs to the area. Locally the economy blends agriculture, small businesses and commuting, while community life centres on the village hall, pub and occasional local events.
