Hardwick is a village in the west of Oxfordshire, sitting on the south bank of the River Windrush. The river here is in two main, widely separated, streams, with many manmade ponds between them. The old parish church, St Mary's, is now the chapel of Cokethorpe School.
The village is on the A415 road about two and a half miles south-east and downstream of Witney.
Hardwick was historically a hamlet or chapelry in the ancient parish of Ducklington.
