Oakley is a sizeable village and civil parish in the borough of Basingstoke and Deane, Hampshire, England, situated roughly four miles west of Basingstoke. It sits in gently rolling Hampshire countryside and mixes period cottages and farm buildings with more modern housing, giving a distinctly rural-but-connected feel.
The village has historic roots and a notable local landmark in the Georgian country house Oakley Hall, now run as a hotel with a golf course, which contributes to tourism and local employment. Today Oakley maintains a strong community atmosphere with a village hall, pubs and small businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns; agriculture and the hospitality sector remain visible in the local economy.
