About

Brize Norton and Shilton ward encompasses the large village of Brize Norton and the smaller village of Shilton, situated on the flat landscape of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. The area is dominated by the presence of RAF Brize Norton, a major operational military airbase. This facility is a significant local employer and its aircraft are a constant feature in the skies overhead, shaping the daily rhythm of the community. The architecture includes traditional Cotswold stone cottages and more modern housing developments built to serve the base's personnel.

The villages maintain distinct characters, with community life centred around local pubs and village greens. Shilton is noted for its historic ford across Shill Brook, where the road dips through the water, creating a traditional rural scene. The surrounding countryside consists of open farmland and quiet lanes, offering walking routes that contrast with the nearby airbase's activity. Public transport links are focused on connections to Carterton and Oxford, supporting the residential and commuting population.
