Radcot Bridge, Medieval road bridge in Great Faringdon, England
The stone bridge spans across the River Thames with three distinct sections, featuring pointed arches constructed from Taynton stone material.
Constructed around 1200, Radcot Bridge stands as the oldest crossing over the River Thames and witnessed the Battle of Radcot Bridge in 1387.
The bridge connects to the Thames Path walking route, providing a link between communities while maintaining its Grade I listed building status.
The structure supports vehicle traffic on the A4095 road with an 18-tonne weight restriction and remains open throughout all seasons.
Archaeological excavations near the bridge revealed remains of Matilda's Castle and Roman structures, indicating centuries of settlement in this location.
