Great Rollright is a small stone-built village in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set amongst rolling limestone countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds. It sits close to the famous Rollright Stones, a cluster of Neolithic and Bronze Age megaliths that draws walkers and visitors and gives the village a strong prehistoric presence; the surrounding lanes and footpaths afford wide views over farmland and down to nearby market towns.

Historically agricultural, Great Rollright retains a medieval parish church and a mix of traditional cottages, and its economy today combines farming, rural trades and a modest amount of tourism alongside commuting to larger centres such as Chipping Norton and Oxford. The community is small and close‑knit, with a peaceful, heritage-rich character that appeals to walkers and anyone interested in England’s ancient landscape.
