Hook Norton sits in the district of Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, on the northeastern edge of the Cotswolds. The village occupies gently rolling ground with good views over farmland and is notable for a compact core of Cotswold stone cottages and a prominent medieval church tower that give it a distinctly historic feel.
Locally the steam‑driven Hook Norton Brewery is the best‑known landmark and draws visitors, while agriculture, small businesses and commuting to nearby towns underpin the economy. Historic ironstone workings and a disused branch railway have shaped the landscape, and a strong community life - with a village hall, school and regular events - keeps the place socially active while conserving many listed buildings.
