About

The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian terraced houses and post-war estates. It includes the grounds of the former Radcliffe Infirmary, now part of Oxford University's development. Local life centres around several small shops and pubs along the streets leading from the main road.

The ward contains the historic site of Donnington Bridge, which spans the River Cherwell and connects to the meadows. A notable feature is the presence of the Warneford Hospital, a significant psychiatric facility. Residential streets are quiet, with community focus on local schools and the nearby Port Meadow open space for recreation.
