If it's a mobile number there are no complete directories to search.
If it's a landline number the only way you can reverse search a UK number is with a hacked copy of UK-Info disc.
Are you sure the number is not 01698 301302? If it is then I think it is a debt collector who is trying to contact you, or get information about you.

You can often find out just by entering the number into a Google search - it'll often point you to that "Who Calls Me" site mentioned previously, which is actually quite helpful.
To find out the location of real geographical numbers, this site is very useful :
