Shipton-on-Cherwell is a fine little village on the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. Its manor house was once the residence of artist William Turner, who went on to design the Church of the Holy Cross, the local parish church.

To the north of the village is what was once the largest limestone quarry in the country and is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This is due to the reptilian fossils found on the site, particularly that of ancient crocodilians.
