Old Road, Oxford
Old Road is a long street in Headington, east Oxford, England, extending into Oxfordshire as a road east of Oxford, to Littleworth near Wheatley. It is part of the main old road between Oxford and London until the late 18th century, passing over Shotover Hill. Nowadays it intersects with the Oxford Ring Road.
At the western end, Old Road connects with Warneford Lane, Gypsy Road, and Roosevelt Drive, close to Cheney School and the Warneford Hospital. Travelling east, the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences and Rock Edge Nature Reserve are to the north, near the junction with Windmill Road and The Slade. Passing across Eastern By-Pass Road, the road passed through Shotover Country Park. At the eastern end, Old Road joins Littleworth Road in Littleworth on the outskirts of Wheatley.
The Old Road Campus of Oxford University, to the south of Old Road, is named after the road.
