Wallingford Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Grim's Ditch

Highlight • Forest

There are many prehistoric bank and ditch earthworks in the Chiltern's region, and many share the name Grim's Ditch or Grim's Dyke. This one is thought to have been a border between Iron Age kingdoms and runs for 5 straight miles (8 km) from Mongewell on the River Thames to Nuffield on the Chiltern escarpment. Today, the Ridgeway National Trail makes good use of it.
