About

Risinghurst & Sandhills sits on Oxford’s eastern edge, where suburban streets meet open ground. The ward is mainly residential, with housing from the interwar and postwar periods, a primary school and a community centre serving local groups. The A40 ring road and local distributor roads mark parts of its boundary, and short streets lead to small parades of shops and local services that cater to daily needs rather than tourism.

Green space is close at hand: footpaths run from back streets into farmland and the woodlands on the eastern slopes, and the Oxford Green Belt Way crosses the area. Sandhills has a long-established belt of allotments and small meadow strips that sit alongside those paths, and walkers often use a sunken lane that rises toward Shotover Hill. Movement between neighbourhood and countryside is direct, so residents can leave a suburban street and be on a ridge or in a plantation within short walking distance.
