Our charming, historic village sits at the confluence of the rivers Thame and Thames, just 9 miles south of Oxford. As well as being a marvellous place to live, it is also the ideal centre for exploring some of England's finest countryside, loveliest villages, stateliest of homes and oldest seats of learning. The Chilterns, Berkshire Downs, Blenheim, and Henley, as well as Oxford are all within easy reach.

The dorchester-on-thames.co.uk website, its social media integrations, and email correspondence, is managed by volunteers from the village. Unless otherwise stated, any views are that of the volunteers, not those of the Parish Council or other official body/entity.
