About

Ascott and Shipton ward is a predominantly rural area in West Oxfordshire, centred on the villages of Ascott-under-Wychwood and Shipton-under-Wychwood. The landscape is characterised by farmland and the wooded slopes of the Wychwood forest fringe. The River Evenlode flows through the southern part of the ward, shaping the local geography. Settlement is focused on these two main villages, which contain a mix of residential housing and local services, including shops and primary schools.

The area is part of the historic Wychwood Forest, with Shipton's notable 12th-century church standing as a landmark. Economic activity is largely agricultural, with some local commerce and commuting links to larger towns like Chipping Norton. The ward maintains a distinct village-based community structure, with the surrounding farmland providing a clear separation from neighbouring settlements. Public footpaths and bridleways connect the villages to the surrounding countryside.
