Main Roads
Enstone is at the junction of two old main roads: one between Oxford and Chipping Norton and the other between Enstone and Bicester. Both were once turnpikes, the Act of Parliament for the latter having been passed in 1797. Since the 1920s the Oxford — Chipping Norton road has been classified as part of the A44 and the Enstone — Bicester Road has been the B4030.
