Ardington, along with the neighbouring villages of East and West Lockinge, East and West Hendred, are downland villages, stretching from the loam rich north to the chalk downlands to the south. The ancient path of the Ridgeway runs through the southern part of the parish. There are several racing stables in and around the village, most of which use the Downs for gallops.

Ardington Wick is a hamlet in the north of the parish, stretching to the main Great Western railway line between Didcot and Wantage.
