About

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. The landscape is characterised by farmland, river meadows, and the wooded slopes of the Wittenham Clumps. These distinctive twin hills, topped with ancient trees and earthworks, form a prominent local landmark visible for miles across the surrounding Oxfordshire plains.

The area is largely agricultural, with a mix of arable fields and pasture. The River Thames provides a focus for recreation, including boating from the moorings at Clifton Hampden. The ward contains several historic buildings, such as the thatched and timber-framed Barley Mow pub and the brick-built Clifton Hampden bridge. Community life centres on the village greens, parish churches, and local pubs in the settlements scattered across this quiet part of the Thames Valley.
