Woodcote is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Chiltern Hills AONB amid rolling farmland and woodland. Its rural setting belies good transport links - many residents commute to nearby centres such as Reading and Oxford, and onward to London - so it combines countryside character with easy access to larger towns.
The village has medieval roots and retains a traditional centre with a parish church, village hall, pubs, a primary school and active local clubs for cricket, football and other community activities. Economically it is a mixture of agriculture and small local businesses alongside a significant commuter population, and the social calendar with fetes and local events keeps a strong village spirit.
