River Cherwell, Tributary of River Thames in central England.
The River Cherwell flows southward for 40 miles from Hellidon in Northamptonshire through rural landscapes until reaching Oxford in Oxfordshire.
The Battle of Cropredy Bridge took place along the Cherwell in 1644 during the English Civil War, marking a significant military engagement.
The River Cherwell features prominently in Oxford University life, with college buildings and the University Parks positioned along its banks.
Visitors can rent punts at Cherwell Boathouse from March to October, with 70 hand-crafted vessels available for water excursions.
A Viking sword dating between 850 and 975 AD was discovered in the river during archaeological excavations in 2023.
