About

South Wantage sits on the southern edge of Wantage in the Vale of White Horse. The area is threaded by Letcombe Brook, a chalk stream that once powered small mills and still runs through gardens and fields into the valley. Streets of post-war and older housing meet farmland, allotments and hedged lanes. Local facilities centre on village shops, primary schools and community halls, and footpaths link the area to the ridgelines and to nearby villages.

Harwell and Blewbury lie a few miles to the east and south‑east, each with a different character. Harwell is home to the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and facilities such as the ISIS neutron source and the Diamond Light Source. Blewbury occupies a slope of the Downs with a parish church dating back to the 12th century and a network of chalk‑stream springs and winterbournes that shape old lanes and meadow boundaries. Public footpaths and village halls provide access to local walking and community events.
