Woodcote is a large village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in rolling countryside on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. It retains a historic core of stone and brick cottages clustered around a village green and parish church, with surrounding farmland and small woodlands giving it a distinctly rural feel while remaining within commuting distance of Reading and Oxford.
Local life is centred on community hubs - a primary school, village hall, a couple of pubs and sports clubs - and the economy is largely residential with farms, local shops and small businesses; many residents commute to nearby towns. The parish shows visible historic layers from medieval origins through Victorian building, and an active programme of fetes, societies and volunteer groups keeps a strong village identity amid steady modern pressures.
