Filkins

Filkins is a small village in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the honey‑coloured Cotswold limestone close to the Gloucestershire border. It forms part of the civil parish of Filkins and Broughton Poggs and has the compact feel of a traditional Cotswold settlement, with stone cottages, narrow lanes and rolling pasture in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Historically rooted in sheep and wool farming, the village now balances small‑scale agriculture with craft industries and tourism - a notable local attraction is the long‑running Cotswold Woollen Weavers mill and shop. Social life is typically village‑centred, with a pub, village hall and seasonal events that sustain a strong community atmosphere while drawing walkers and visitors keen on country pursuits and heritage buildings.
