The civil parish of Shipton-under-Wychwood sits in the Evenlode valley on the edge of the ancient Wychwood and the western fringe of the Cotswolds, within West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. The village has a compact historic core of Cotswold stone and timber-framed houses surrounding a green and a medieval parish church, reflecting its long rural past and manor-based settlement pattern.
Today the parish combines traditional farming with a commuter population and small local enterprises; it is served by a small station on the Cotswold Line, giving reasonable rail links towards Oxford and the west. Community life is lively for a village of its size, centred on the village hall, school, pubs and annual fetes, and much of the centre is protected as a conservation area because of its architectural and historic interest.
