Oxford Castle – a Preservation Trust Case Study

The Oxford Castle Heritage Site is a striking social and cultural development in the centre of the city connecting into Oxford’s West End. A five acre site surrounded by walls, it incorporates the remains of Oxford Castle the ancient county gaol, and the more modern prison. Today it has been transformed into a sustainable mixed-use development comprising an art gallery, hotel, education centre, heritage visitor attraction, residential apartments, and restaurants and bars, found across the site, set around public squares and gardens, each with its own distinct character.
