Grove lies just north of Wantage in the Vale of White Horse, a landscape defined by the clay vales that sit between the River Thames and the Ridgeway. Though it began as a small hamlet centered around agriculture and the Wilts & Berks Canal - remnants of which can still be traced today - the village expanded significantly in the mid-20th century, largely due to its proximity to the former RAF Grove airfield. This aviation history left a lasting mark on the local layout, and the area now serves as a practical hub for those working at the nearby Harwell Science and Innovation Campus or in Oxford. Life here tends to revolve around a few key landmarks, such as the parish church of St. John the Baptist and the local precinct, while the Letcombe Brook flows quietly through the village, providing a bit of a green corridor. It’s a place that feels distinct from the hilltop market town of Wantage, offering a flatter, more open aspect with straightforward access to the A338.
