Eynsham is a large village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting just off the A40 about four miles west of Oxford. It occupies a pleasant edge-of-town spot with easy road links to the city and the Cotswolds, and is overlooked by the red-brick country house of Eynsham Hall, now used for events and hospitality.
The village has a long history dating back to the Anglo‑Saxon and medieval periods, originally developing around a religious foundation, and still retains a historic centre of stone buildings, pubs and independent shops. Today it blends a commuter population with long‑standing local communities, active village groups, schools and sports clubs, and a quiet riverside and rural setting that makes it popular with families and walkers.
