Longworth is a village and civil parish about 7 miles (11 km) west of Abingdon-on-Thames and a similar distance east of Faringdon and south of Witney. It is located in the historic county of Berkshire, however, since 1974 for administration purposes the village is located in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire. The hamlet of Newbridge is located within the parish of Longworth. There is a non-denominational primary school in the village.

Longworth parish stretches between the River Thames in the north and the A420 road in the south. Harrowdown Hill, in the north of the parish near the Thames, is where biological warfare expert David Kelly died (or committed suicide) during the Second Gulf War WMD scandal; this gave rise to a public enquiry concluded by the Hutton Report, and to the title of a popular song, 'Harrowdown Hill' by Thom Yorke, which expressed doubts about the British government's handling of the issue.
