The Sandford & the Wittenhams ward encompasses a rural area along the north bank of the River Thames. It includes the villages of Little Wittenham, Long Wittenham, and Clifton Hampden, along with the hamlet of Burcot.

These distinctive twin hills, topped with ancient trees and earthworks, form a prominent local landmark visible for miles across the surrounding Oxfordshire plains.

The ward contains several historic buildings, such as the thatched and timber-framed Barley Mow pub and the brick-built Clifton Hampden bridge.
