Map of the UK

Northmoor is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set largely on the floodplain of the nearby River Thames. The landscape is characteristically rural, with meadows, hedgerows and a scattering of period houses, and the river has long shaped local life - there is a lock and stretches of towpath close by that underline the parish’s riverside character.

Locally the community is small and close-knit, with a quiet, agricultural feel alongside a number of residents who commute into Oxford and other nearby centres. The village has historic roots going back many centuries, reflected in its church and traditional buildings, and community life tends to centre on village events, the village hall and outdoor pursuits such as walking and fishing along the Thames.
