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.
