About

Quarry & Risinghurst is a residential ward located in the eastern outskirts of Oxford. It is primarily composed of suburban housing estates built from the 1930s onwards, with a mix of semi-detached homes and some post-war terraces. The area is bounded by the ring road to the west and the open land of Shotover Country Park to the south and east. Its streets are generally quiet, with local shopping parades catering to daily needs.

The ward's landscape is defined by its proximity to Shotover Hill, with several streets offering direct access to its extensive woodland and heathland paths. This provides a distinct contrast to the built environment, with open views across the city from higher ground. The area also contains several schools and community facilities, serving its settled population. The historical presence of the Risinghurst quarry, now largely filled, is reflected in the local geography and place names.
