Moulsford Railway Bridge
Highlight • Historical Site
The original bridge was built between 1838 and 1840 for the main route of the Great Western Railway. The second, parallel, bridge was added in the 1890s.
It's a very imposing and impressive structure, particularly if you are just immediately below on the river bank path here.

South Stoke Village
Highlight • Settlement
It looks every bit the quintessential English village, with a pretty Norman church, a 17th-century flagstone inn and a mixture of thatched cottages and timbered houses.
It is within the Chiltern Hills AONB and there are many excellent walks in the surrounding area. The Ridgeway National Trail and the Swan's Way both pass through the village.

St Andrew's Church, Streatley
Highlight • Historical Site
The current building thus falls outside the Romanesque Anglo-Saxon/Norman period of architecture and into the Gothic, the divisions of which are Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular. St Andrew's stands, therefore, as a far more elegant church than it might have been.
Built of local flint rubble covered with roughcast, it occupies a prominent position in the village. It has stone dressings and contains a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, vestry and western tower.
The church is dedicated to St Andrew, one of the twelve apostles. One reason for this choice is that it was at the instigation of St Birinus, a Benedictine monk, who had come to England by order of Pope Honorius I in the 7th century. St Birinus came from the Abbey of St Andrew in Rome and was recorded as having "built and dedicated several churches and brought many people to God."
