Idbury is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the western edge of the Cotswolds limestone uplands, with honey‑coloured stone cottages, rolling farmland and wide views, giving a rural, quietly isolated feel while remaining within reach of market towns such as Chipping Norton and Stow-on-the-Wold.
The village’s history is visible in its medieval church and scattered farmsteads, and agriculture still shapes much local life even as some residents commute for work. Idbury is popular with walkers and those seeking country tranquillity: lanes and public footpaths cross the parish, the landscape preserves notable hedgerow and grassland biodiversity, and a small, close-knit community maintains a strong sense of local heritage and seasonal activity.
