About

Barton & Sandhills is a residential area located northeast of Oxford's city centre, situated between the ring road and the open spaces of Shotover Hill. The ward is primarily composed of post-war housing estates, including the large Barton estate built in the mid-20th century. The area contains local shopping parades, community centres, and several primary schools serving its population. Its eastern edge borders the expansive woodland and heath of the Shotover Country Park.

The Sandhills segment of the ward features housing developed around the former Oxford Golf Club land. A notable local landmark is the distinctive spire of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Barton, which stands apart from the surrounding residential architecture. The area is well-connected by major bus routes along Headington Road and the Eastern Bypass, facilitating travel into the city. The ward's topography includes noticeable slopes, particularly as it rises towards the open landscapes of Shotover.
