Kiddington with Asterleigh is a small, quietly rural parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, made up of the settled village of Kiddington and the nearby site of the deserted medieval village of Asterleigh. The landscape is gently rolling farmland and estate parkland rather than a nucleated urban centre, which gives the area a distinctly pastoral character and makes it popular with people seeking country living within reach of larger towns and Oxford for work and services.
Historically the parish has an agricultural core and the traces of older settlement at Asterleigh add archaeological and historic interest; there is also the presence of a traditional manor and village church that underline its long rural lineage. Today the community remains small and largely residential, with local farming, estate activity and some commuter residents shaping its social and economic life, while quiet lanes and parkland provide opportunities for walking and countryside pursuits.
