The village sits on chalkland.〔(Parish Council )〕 Its village magazine, ''Link'', is published monthly. ==Education and worship== Oakley has two linked educational facilities: Oakley CE Junior School 〔http://www.oakley-jun.hants.sch.uk〕 and Oakley Infant school, both of which have consistently achieved 'Outstanding' ratings in OFSTED inspections. Oakley also contains a small Methodist church, and the ancient Anglican church, St Leonard's. The Anglican church (St John's) was recently demolished for safety reasons and has been translated into a garden of remembrance with the war memorial positioned on the site of the altar.
