Old Road, Oxford

[2] It is part of the main old road between Oxford and London until the late 18th century,[3] passing over Shotover Hill.

At the western end, Old Road connects with Warneford Lane, Gypsy Road, and Roosevelt Drive, close to Cheney School and the Warneford Hospital.

Travelling east, the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) and Rock Edge Nature Reserve[1] (including the old Rock Edge quarry site, a Site of Special Scientific Interest) are to the north, near the junction with Windmill Road (north) and The Slade (south).

The paved section of the road end in a car park next to Shotover Country Park, and the road continues largely as a dirt track until it reaches a small reservoir.

Due to the unpaved section, Old Road today acts as two separate roads, one on Oxford (and leading to Shotover Country Park just outside the city) and a shorter section being a de facto cul-de-sac in Littleworth.
