Boars Hill is a hamlet situated about 3 miles (5 km) southwest of Oxford, lying on the boundary between the civil parishes of Sunningwell and Wootton in Oxfordshire. The settlement covers nearly two square miles and contains around 360 dwellings, giving it a low‑density, rural character that contrasts with the city centre. Historically part of Berkshire, the area became part of Oxfordshire following the 1974 boundary changes, a fact reflected in its current postal district OX 1. The long‑established Boars Hill Association maps the community and provides a sense of continuity for residents. The hamlet’s proximity to Oxford offers convenient access to the university town while maintaining a distinct, quieter environment. Residents benefit from the surrounding countryside and the sense of community fostered by the association. The locality’s setting within the Oxfordshire countryside makes it an appealing option for those seeking a blend of rural living and urban convenience.
