About

Launton and Otmoor ward encompasses a largely rural area in northern Cherwell. It includes the village of Launton itself, along with the settlements of Fringford and Charlton-on-Otmoor. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with open fields characteristic of the Oxfordshire countryside. The ward's boundaries extend to the edges of the expansive Otmoor wetland, a significant lowland area.

The name Otmoor is central to the ward's identity, referring to the historic moorland and Royal Air Force base. This low-lying basin is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, known for its wintering bird populations and rare wetland habitats. The area's history includes past enclosure riots, and it remains a focus for conservation efforts, with public footpaths like the Otmoor Cycleway providing access to its distinctive environment.
