Oakley is a district of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England. In the Domesday Book of 1086, it is recorded as held by Turstin FitzRolf.[1] Oakley primarily consists of residential housing, including private, council-owned, and social housing. It backs onto Cleeve Hill and Harp Hill, greenbelt land, and part of the Cotswold hills, including a covered reservoir. Oakley neighbours Prestbury and Whaddon.
