Heythrop is a small, quietly rural civil parish in West Oxfordshire on the edge of the Cotswolds, lying between Chipping Norton and Enstone in Oxfordshire, England. The settlement is dominated by farmland and stone cottages rather than a high street, giving a strong sense of countryside community and a very small population with limited local amenities.
The most striking feature is the early-18th-century Palladian mansion of Heythrop Park, set in parkland with lakes and woodland; the house and estate have seen varied uses over time and continue to shape local employment and occasional events. A small medieval parish church and the surrounding historic landscape give the area a layered cultural character, making it quietly attractive to visitors while remaining essentially agricultural and residential.
