Lyneham is a small, largely rural parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. Set among the undulating farmland and hedgerowed lanes typical of the area, it comprises scattered farmsteads and a handful of cottages rather than a single large village, giving it a quiet, pastoral character.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots reflected in old field patterns and buildings, the local economy remains dominated by farming, though some residents commute to nearby towns such as Witney and Oxford. Social life tends to be small-scale and community-focused, with parish meetings and local events anchoring a close-knit population.
