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.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously common "war memorial".

The common in Great Milton is a great place to stop and refuel on your cycle. Just around the corner is a luxury hotel and restaurant, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, if you fancy treating yourself.

The Carfax Tower offers the best view of Oxford. The stairs to the top are quite narrow and not suitable for people with claustrophobia.

The iconic bridge that spans Hertford College's campuses. A nice sport to ride if somewhat hidden.

This is an iconic part of Oxford, alongside the library is the Hertford Bridge.

This is a terrible section of the cycle network on B roads that are used by heavy haulage and on very low lying land resulting in dangerous fast roads with heavy goods vehicles that is often flooded, I would avoid this section when planning any tours, however there are precious little options for traversing this area, probably why there was little choice but to route the 57 on these roads.
