Kelmscott is a small riverside village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting in the Thames valley close to the border with Gloucestershire and the market town of Lechlade. The settlement occupies low-lying meadowland beside the River Thames, with the landscape marked by floodplain pastures, hedged fields and the long-distance Thames Path, which gives the area a quiet, scenic character.
Its chief claim to wider notice is Kelmscott Manor, the 16th-century house closely associated with William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, which brings a steady trickle of cultural tourism. Locally the economy is largely agricultural with a small, close-knit community, several listed buildings and a parish church, and conservation-minded planning helps retain the village’s historic, rural feel.
