Woodstock Road
The western artery north — Somerville, Green Templeton, and Victorian North Oxford on the way to Woodstock.
Woodstock Road is one of the two main north-south arteries of Oxford, running from St Giles' at the south end out towards the historic town of Woodstock. It runs broadly parallel to the Banbury Road on its eastern side, the two diverging at the top of St Giles' and rejoining beyond the Ring Road.
At the southern end, it passes Somerville College (one of the original women's colleges, founded 1879) and the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter — the former site of the Radcliffe Infirmary, now redeveloped by the University as the home of Green Templeton College, the Mathematical Institute, and the Blavatnik School of Government. Further north, it passes through one of the most consistently Victorian sections of North Oxford, with large gabled and brick houses on land released by St John's College from the 1860s onwards.
The northern stretches give way to suburban housing of the 1920s-1950s before crossing the Ring Road and continuing as the A44 towards Woodstock and Blenheim Palace.
