About

Milton-under-Wychwood ward encompasses the village of Milton-under-Wychwood and its surrounding rural land in the Evenlode Valley. The area is primarily agricultural, with fields and woodland defining the landscape. The village itself centres around its historic church and a traditional high street with local shops and services. The broader ward includes scattered farms and smaller settlements, maintaining a distinct separation from the nearby larger town of Chipping Norton.

A notable local feature is the area's connection to the ancient Wychwood Forest, with remnants of this old royal hunting ground still present. The Shill Brook, a tributary of the River Evenlode, runs through the parish. The community is served by a primary school, village hall, and sports facilities. The ward's geography is characterised by gentle slopes and valleys, typical of the western part of Oxfordshire's Cotswolds fringe.
