Welcome to the Tackley Village Website
The North Oxfordshire village of Tackley lies in the Cherwell Valley, 8 miles North
of Oxford and just 3 miles from the town of Woodstock. The name Tackley is probably
derived from ‘tack’ (from the pre 7th century Danish ‘tacca’), meaning sheep or ewes,
and the Anglo-
Tackley has a great sense of community, most effectively demonstrated by the community run village shop. The village has a main line railway station, with regular trains to and from Banbury, Oxford and London, and is about 1 mile from the Oxford Canal. As you enter the village you pass St Nicholas Church, which has been there since Saxon times. A traditional green with a fine old oak tree forms the centre of the village. Tackley is a mixture of old cottages, converted buildings and modern houses, and a population of just under 1,000 residents.
This site is designed and maintained by volunteers for Tackley Parish Council, Tackley
