It is at the junction of roads from Abingdon, Faringdon and Witney, Oxfordshire. The soil is stone-brash, black loam, sand and clay. More than a quarter of the land was permanent grass, just over a quarter arable, and a small amount of woodland. There was one principal landowner. There were two fairs annually at Newbridge.
