APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH GOING TOWARDS LONDON ON THE M40

** If you miss this turning you have to proceed onto the A40 towards Oxford. Continue for approximately two miles to the first traffic lights. Do a U turn and follow the directions as if you were coming from the London Road Roundabout.
APPROACHING FROM OXFORD OR THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE CITY
Wherever you start your journey, your aim should be to reach the major ‘London Road’ (sometimes called ‘Headington’) roundabout to the East of the City. This sits at the point where the Eastern Bypass (A 4142) and the Northern Bypass (A40) meet though in practice it is one continuous road. The roundabout also links with the A40 to London which is the road you will want.
At all costs avoid being enticed into the centre of Oxford!
APPROACHING FROM THE LONDON ROAD ROUNDABOUT
From the roundabout take the A40 exit signposted to London
Proceed for approximately two miles. Exit left at the sign to Holton and Wheatley
After fifty metres you reach a T junction
Turn left following the sign to Holton
Stay on this road (it wanders through village and country) for approximately one mile
If in any doubt keep bearing right along the same road
Holton Village Hall is on the left before you reach the church
