One of the 'seven towns' of picturesque Otmoor, Noke is a small village in Oxfordshire. Its name derives from the old English for 'at the oak tree', hinting at its origin as a clearing in the ancient forest. There are still two small woodlands nearby in Prattle Wood and Noke Wood. It occupies the south western border of the Otwood Nature Reserve, a lovely place to while away the hours.

Located where the River Ray meets the River Cherwell, Islip is an attractive little village. Once an important stop on the coach road between London and Worcester, at its height Islip had 21 inns. Now this number is greatly reduced to two, but what hasn't changed is the friendly welcome that greets travellers.
