Standlake is a compact village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on low-lying farmland and former gravel workings that have become a striking cluster of waters known locally as Standlake Lakes. The patchwork of lakes, meadows and hedgerows gives the area a very peaceful, semi-rural character and attracts walkers, anglers and birdwatchers; it sits within easy reach of larger towns such as Witney and Eynsham and within commuting distance of Oxford.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the parish still shows a mix of traditional cottages and newer housing alongside working farms. Community life is lively for a village of its size, centred on a village hall, local amenities and regular social events, while the local economy combines farming and small businesses with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities. The lakes and surrounding countryside are the parish’s most distinctive contemporary feature, valued for both wildlife and recreation.
