Northmoor is a small village and civil parish, 6.22 miles west of Oxford and 5.27 miles south-east of Witney, in the English county of Oxfordshire.
Northmoor has a 13th century parish church dedicated to St Denys, a village hall which doubles as a community meeting place and Christmas pantomime venue, and one remaining pub serving the community. It is set amongst fields (mostly set to raising lambs and sheep) in a part of the Upper Thames valley which has been designated an Environmentally Sensitive Conservation Area. Walkers and cyclists have many bridleways and footpaths. The village is on the Oxfordshire cycle path and public footpaths connect with the Thames path and Northmoor Lock, with the Windrush running close-by. Pleasure boats can be hired locally.
