Wallingford, Market town in South Oxfordshire, England.

The town stands on the western bank of the River Thames, featuring medieval architecture and a network of narrow streets around the central market square.

Wallingford Castle, established after the Norman Conquest in 1066, served as a strategic stronghold until its destruction during the English Civil War.

The Corn Exchange Theatre, constructed in 1856, continues to function as a central venue for performances, films, and community gatherings.

Regular markets occur every Friday and Saturday in the town center, while specialty antique markets take place on the third Tuesday of each month.

The preserved railway branch line operates heritage diesel and steam train rides between Easter and September, connecting visitors to regional transportation history.
