Bishopstone lies on the north slope of the Lambourn Downs, overlooking the Vale of White Horse. It is between Wanborough and Ashbury on the historic Icknield Way. It is a picturesque village with a public house, the Royal Oak, and a large number of thatched cottages, centred on a mill-pond.

The village is often used as a base for walkers on the Ridgeway National Trail.

On the downs above Bishopstone are ancient field systems known as lynchets and many other historic earth-workings.
