A nice spot to watch river activity from

There are records which suggest the presence of a bridge on the site in the 14th century but this structure was short-lived and crossing was made by ferry from at least 1379 until a timber bridge was built in 1767. The present stone structure dates from 1827. A toll was payable on both the ferry and the subsequent bridges until 1874 when the County Councils of Berkshire and Oxfordshire joined to buy the bridge from its private trustees and scrapped the charges.

On the patronage of this church dedicated to "Saint LAWRENCE": He is one of the early Christian Roman martyrs from a time when Christianity was still strictly forbidden. He was archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and after his execution was ordered by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church to him. Laurentius asked for three days to do this, distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th, the recorded date of his execution in A.D. 258.

A nice section of wide singletrack that flows through this belt of woodland. Well surfaced dirt that allows pretty high speeds if you're up for peddling hard. Some great corners to ride and some long straights, awesome fun!

The road takes you through sprawling fields of wildflowers and crops, adding bursts of colour to the landscape hills. This is a fantastic road for cycling, with spectacular views a plenty!

The pub is a great place to stop for food and drink on your run. What makes this one particularly special, aside from the good food, is the view that you get from the outside here of the beautiful Chiltern hills in the area. They've placed some benches on the opposite side of the road: just sit down and enjoy!

There are wonderful views towards the south from the northern end of this segment (on the Chiltern Way long-distance trail) - the track drops to Well Place Road to the rise again on the other side of the valley. You also have the gentle Warren Hill rising up the grassy pasture slops to the east as you walk the track. A beautiful place.
