About this Event

Walk leader – Centenary Tour Guides

2km | 1hr 30 mins

Join us for a fascinating walk around the University’s northern campus, where past and present meet at every turn. This tour traces the northern perimeter of Whiteknights, exploring a mix of old and new architecture — and even a few places where buildings once stood but are now lost to time. Discover the sites of the University’s original student halls of residence, learn how the campus evolved over the decades, and visit historic landmarks such as Foxhill House and the site of a once-grand house now demolished. A walk through history that reveals how the University’s landscape has continually adapted, reflecting generations of change and growth.

Start: Wantage Hall, Upper Redlands Road, RG1 5JG
