Enslow is a hamlet on the banks of both the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal in Bletchingdon civil parish, Oxfordshire.

The medieval main road linking London with Chipping Norton and Worcester crosses the Cherwell at Enslow.

[3] In 1718 the road was made into a turnpike[1] and at some stage the timber bridge was replaced by one with pointed stone arches.

[5] The hill was the site of the unsuccessful Oxfordshire Rising of 1596 over enclosures of common land.

[1] Early in the 19th century the Rock of Gibraltar public house[7] was built to serve the trade on and around the wharf.
