Leafield is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sited on high ground at the western edge of the Cotswolds. The elevated position gives pleasant views across surrounding farmland and the Evenlode valley, and the village retains a rural character of stone cottages, hedged lanes and small woods that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically agricultural, Leafield still feels like a close-knit community with a parish church and village amenities forming the local hub; at the same time its proximity to towns such as Witney and Chipping Norton means many residents commute for work or services. The mix of traditional buildings and quiet country life, together with easy access to nearby market towns, gives the parish a balance of heritage and everyday practicality.
