This impressive medieval bridge over the River Thames allows you to step back in time. Built in the 14th century. Wallingford Bridge is 900 feet (270 m) long and has 19 arches. In 1646, four arches were removed so a drawbridge could be built during the siege of the castle in the Civil War of 1646. These were replaced with timber structures until repair in 1751.

Very beautiful stone bridge with fragments from the 13th century. The Wallingford Bridge is almost 270 m long. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the Thames and the "Boat House".

Wallingford is a great base for Oxfordshire walking. You can walk on both sides of the River Thames from here. There is a fascinating history here too. In July they stage the three day Festival of Cycling with something for everyone in the Kineford Park through to 100 mile bike rides. There are a good range of eating places here. Le Clos is a fab wine bar. There is also a small community theatre seating 130. They stage a series of amateur dramatic plays throughout the year, and this provides a really good evening rest - it has a good bar as well! Outside Wallingford, in Watlington about 6 miles away there is a fab deli/cafe who make lovely sandwiches to start your walk up into Watlington Hill and beyond through beech woods.
