Westwell is a very small rural parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, tucked into the rolling limestone countryside of the Cotswolds. It has medieval roots and the feel of a traditional English village, with honey‑stone houses and a historic parish church and farmsteads that reflect its agricultural past.
Today the community is quiet and sparsely populated, its economy still linked to farming but increasingly shaped by tourism and commuters travelling to nearby towns such as Burford or Oxford. The area is popular with walkers and visitors seeking the classic Cotswold landscape, while local life is marked by small‑scale village events and a strong sense of local continuity.
