Kencot is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England, set in the rolling agricultural countryside typical of the Cotswolds. Its compact size and stone-built cottages give it a distinctly rural character and a sense of long continuity with the surrounding landscape.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a medieval church and a handful of listed buildings, while today the local economy is largely residential with some farming and conservation activity; social life is quietly centred on the parish and occasional village events, and the area is popular with walkers and people looking for a peaceful base within easy reach of larger market towns.
