North Leigh is a ward in the district of West Oxfordshire in the county of Oxfordshire, England, set a short drive west of Oxford and close to the market town of Witney. It sits on the edge of the Cotswolds, with rolling limestone countryside and farmland defining much of the local landscape while providing convenient commuting routes into the city.
The area is notable for its layers of history and a strong village community: nearby remains of North Leigh Roman Villa and the Norman‑rooted parish All Saints Church speak to a long settlement history, while today the ward mixes agriculture, small local businesses and commuters. Local life centres on village amenities such as the primary school, village hall and pubs, with active conservation and community groups shaping cultural and social activity.
