Uffington, Oxfordshire
Uffington is a village and civil parish about south of Faringdon and west of Wantage. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire. Uffington is most commonly known as the location of the Uffington White Horse hill figure.
==Location and character==
The village is one of chalk-block houses and thatch, at the foot of the White Horse Hills. The Church of England parish church of St Mary is known as ''The Cathedral of the Vale'' and has the rare feature of a hexagonal tower. The village is in the middle of the Vale of the White Horse, otherwise known as the Ock Valley. Like most parishes in the Vale, Uffington parish is long and thin, running north-south, so that it includes both low-lying arable land and grazing upland on the Berkshire Downs. The River Ock forms most of its northern boundary. The western boundary runs up across Dragon Hill, Whitehorse Hill, Uffington Down and the gallops on Woolstone Down before turning north again as the eastern boundary across Kingston Warren Down and Ram's Hill, almost to Fawler and partially along Stutfield Brook. The parish formerly included Baulking and Woolstone.
