Old Headington is about 2 miles east of Oxford, just inside the ring road. The village was made a conservation area in 1971.
The current boundaries of the conservation area are the A40 in the north, Bury Knowle park in the east, Cuckoo Lane in the south with additional housing along Old High Street, and the John Radcliffe Hospital green spaces in the west.
For a detailed map showing the boundaries of the conservation area please go to the Oxford City Council website where a map is available as a pdf file.
A booklet, Building in Old Headington, which gives advice to residents about permitted development, renovations and repairs is available from the Friends.
