South Hinksey is a village and civil parish just over 1 mile south of the centre of Oxford. The parish includes the residential area of Hinksey Hill about 0.5 miles south of the village. The parish was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.
The Southern By-Pass Road passes through the parish. The only road access to the village is via the bypass. It is on the inside of the ring road and close to the Hinksey Stream, a branch of the River Thames at Oxford. Pedestrian and cycle access to the village from Oxford is via the Devil's Backbone; a historic raised pathway across the neighbouring flood plains that features in Matthew Arnold's poem The Scholar Gipsy.
