A nice spot to watch river activity from

This road now has some horrendous potholes, be wary as these combined with some fast traffic can be quite dangerous.****

If you go left - you will follow path through meadows. If you go right - you’ll follow path to Oxford

Beautiful views from both sides of the bridge

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".

Historical placesto visit and plenty of coffee stops and a new wine bar 🍷😁
