Tubney is a small village in Berkshire, lying eastward of Fyfield and 4½ miles west of Abingdon, caught in the angle of the A420 Oxford to Swindon road and the A338 to Wantage.
The village gives its name to Tubney Wood to the north of the village, a part of the parish stretching to Appleton. Tubney wood and the Appleton Commons, which stretch from here to the Thames, are mixed woodlands. The south of the village is taken up with the vast sweep of Frilford Golf Course.
The Department of Zoology of the University of Oxford has a research centre at Tubney; the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Tubney House on Abingdon Road
