The village and civil parish of Charlton-on-Otmoor sits in the district of Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, on the edge of the low-lying wetland of Otmoor about seven miles north‑east of Oxford. Its flat, seasonally damp landscape and nearby nature reserve make it notable for wildlife, especially waders and wildfowl, and for open views of moorland and sky.
Historically an agricultural community shaped by drainage and enclosure, the parish still shows its rural roots in farmhouses and traditional cottages while also hosting a commuter population and active local groups. The combination of conservation-minded neighbours, birdwatching interest and quiet village life gives Charlton-on-Otmoor a strong sense of place and a distinctly rural character close to the city.
