- The main entrance to New College is on Holywell Street, not through New College Lane (the original entrance to the College). If you are using SatNav to find us, set 'Holywell Street' as the destination rather than the postcode as the postcode will take you to the New College Lane entrance.

The current (1997) main college entrance is via a passage in the gothic Holywell Buildings (Gilbert Scott 1875, listed grade II) which extend along the south side of Holywell Street, parallel to the city wall to the south.
Today, this is the main entrance to the college for tourists. If you head through the gate, you’ll find yourself in New College Lane, site of the Barn (a thatched building where a couple of fellows have their rooms), and the world-famous Bridge of Sighs. Garden Quad. Don’t be tempted to leave just yet, though!
