Running

Swinford Toll Bridge is built of local limestone and was opened in 1769. It is one of only two remaining toll bridges that cross the Thames upstream of London.

Road cycling

I'm not sure why this bridge is listed as a road cycling highlight. This and the road it is on are heavy traffic and not cycle friendly at all. I recommend cycling with a friend for safety in numbers or outside of peak hours. I also recommend taking primary position through the sections with double white lines / no overtaking. Unfortunately it is one of the main routes outside of Oxford. Posting this here so others are forewarned of what to expect!
