The village and civil parish of Finstock sits in West Oxfordshire, in the open countryside of Oxfordshire, England, close to the ancient Wychwood woodland and within easy reach of the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. Its setting of mixed farmland, small woods and hedgerows gives it a distinctly rural character, with traditional stone cottages and lanes that reflect the long history of settlement in the area.
Finstock has medieval roots and retains many historic buildings, while today its economy mixes agriculture with a commuter population who travel to Oxford and beyond via the nearby station at Charlbury. The village maintains a strong community spirit, centred on a local pub, village hall and clubs, and there is active interest in conserving the surrounding Wychwood landscape and local traditions.
