Nice countryside road

A nice spot to watch river activity from

This was beautiful ride I done solo. This reminded me of Tuscany with beautiful fields and villages. Amazing. Highly recommended. It was a sunny weekend when I done it so looked magnificent.

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".

This charming hamlet, nestled near the larger village of Great Haseley, is a delightful spot to cycle through. It's known for its idyllic thatched cottages, which capture the essence of Oxfordshire’s rural beauty.

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.
