Swinford Toll Bridge is a privately owned toll bridge south of Eynsham, which crosses the River Thames just above Eynsham Lock. The bridge, constructed in local stone in the Georgian style, was opened in 1769. The bridge is governed by its own Act of Parliament. It allows the bridge owner to collect tolls (5p per car) and makes the building of bridges across the river illegal

Eynsham Lock was built quite recently, in 1928, as part of plans to make the Thames navigable to Lechlade. The nearby Swinford Toll Bridge – built in 1769 during the days of stage coaches, highwaymen and turnpikes – is described as the finest of the many bridges over the Thames with its Georgian architecture.
Eynsham is said to be one of the oldest villages in Britain. It is mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 571AD when Cuthwolf fought the Britons at Bedcanford and captured four villages, Limbury, Aylesbury, Benson, and Eynsham. Eynsham lock was used by merchants taking salt from Droitwich and stone from Taynton.


Eynsham is a bustling village with a pleasant centre and grey stone cottages and other buildings. The parish church is to one side of The Square which, together with High Street, is on the southern side of the village.

Pinkhill Lock on the River Thames
The manual beam pound lock at Pinkhill was built in 1791, and it looks today just as it did in the 18th century, when merchants' barges were a common sight, travelling to and from London.
The Ferry Inn at Bablock Hythe runs a passenger service for customers. Dating from Roman times, Bablock Hythe is one of the oldest Thames crossings. A vehicle ferry operated here until 1986. The Ferryman, viewed against the backdrop of the rivers tree lined banks, A ferry service has been operating on and off by the local pub, The Ferryman, for 1000 years.

Northmoor Lock - the seventh on the River Thames - is one of the latest to be built along the river, constructed as it was in 1896 and replacing the ancient Hart's and Ark flash weirs. It is located just east of the beautiful Cotswolds, near Lambourn Downs.

Hart's Weir Footbridge is a single-span concrete footbridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. Locally, it is also known as Rainbow Bridge, due to its rainbow-arc

Newbridge Bridge is the Oldest Bridge on the River Thames dating from the 13th Century.
The Picturesque Newbridge Bridge is the Oldest Bridge on the River Thames The bridge dates from from the 13th Century. And is built of Taynton stone Whether New Bridge or Radcot Bridge is the oldest bridge today across the Thames is debatable


The Picturesque Rose Revived This 16th-century inn Situated on the banks of the River Thames, is in the quiet village of Newbridge, in the Oxfordshire countryside.

Thames Path - Part 4: Putney - Kew | A Walk to My Birthplace

In this video, I return to the Thames Path. This is a (very) long-term project whereby I am trying to walk to the source of the River Thames. From the Thames Barrier (the official end of the national trail), it is approximately 184 miles to the start near Kemble, Gloucestershire. When will I get to the source? One year? TWO years? Who knows?! So far I have walked about 27 miles and it has been fascinating discovering the changing scenery around the river. I was born in Hammersmith so it was especially nice to walk through my birthplace! This so far this has been a very manageable walk to complete in sections: six miles here, five miles there. There are lots of train stations to hop on and off of which really helps. A highly recommended trail for Londoners.

Note: Thames Barrier to The London Eye was completed before I set up the Londoner Outdoors channel, but here are some links to photos - to prove that I actually did it!

Artist Jane Tomlinson (@JaneSunflower) has been commended by the British Cartographic Society for her recent piece of artwork she created which is a painted map of Oxfordshire. Craig Punfield (@CraigOnTV) went to speak with her.

Jane Tomlinson, from Eynsham, condensed the county on to a piece of A1 paper.

The British Cartographic Society commended her last month in an award ceremony which rewarded talented map-makers.

The artist used watercolour paints to create her piece, which includes her favourite spots and famous people from Oxfordshire.
