Rollright is a small rural parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Cotswolds and close to the border with Warwickshire. The parish includes the tiny settlements of Great Rollright and Little Rollright and is characterised by rolling limestone countryside, quiet lanes and a sparse, largely agricultural population.
What makes the area especially notable is the ancient monument complex known as the Rollright Stones, including the King's Men stone circle and the Whispering Knights, which draw walkers, antiquarians and seasonal ritual gatherings. Locally there is a medieval parish church and a village life centred on farming, small-scale tourism and community events, giving the parish a strong sense of heritage and a close-knit social character.
