South Leigh is a village in Oxfordshire, situated within the OX 29 postal district. The village was served by South Leigh railway station, a single‑platform station on the Oxford, Witney and Fairford Railway. The station opened in 1861 and was part of the Witney Railway network, providing a link between Oxford and Witney. Passenger services ceased in 1962, and goods services ended in 1965, after which the station closed permanently. The closure of the station reflects the broader shift in transportation patterns in rural England during the mid‑20th century. Today, South Leigh remains a small community, with its history tied to the railway that once connected it to larger towns. The village’s rural setting and historical background offer a quiet living environment within reach of the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside.
