The name Risinghurst 'rising ground towards the wooded hill' reflects the fact that Risinghurst was built on gently rising land running upwards towards Shotover Hill.These woods are part of the old Royal Forest of Shotover and Shotover itself is situated on the steep hill beyond the nature reserve. At its peak lies Shotover Country Park, which is home to a variety of wildlife and is, in part, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Shotover is one of the higher limestone hills that ring Oxford and the top of the hill offers brilliant views although Oxford itself is hard to see.

 

Risinghurst was home to the author C.S. Lewis, who lived in a house called The Kilns until his death in 1963. Behind the house is a large wild area, now a nature reserve, but then the garden and this wild area is said to have been both the inspiration for Narnia and possibly Tolkien's Midde Earth.
