The ward centred on Woodcote and Rotherfield Peppard sits in South Oxfordshire on the northern fringe of the Chiltern Hills. It is a predominantly rural landscape of rolling chalk hills, mixed woodland and farmland, popular with walkers and riders and offering easy road and rail links into nearby towns such as Henley-on-Thames and Reading.
Locally the villages retain a strong community feel, with parish churches, village halls, pubs, primary schools and sports clubs staging regular fĂȘtes and events; many residents commute to larger centres while small-scale farming and independent businesses continue to shape the local economy. Architecturally there are listed cottages and conservation areas and the history of farming and old coaching routes still colours the character of the settlements.
