Goring and Streatley Bridge

Goring and Streatley Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Thames between two villages on opposite banks. The structure has two sections that cross via a river island and uses timber supports with a metal roadway.

The current bridge was built in 1923 to replace an earlier timber structure dating to 1837. This replacement significantly improved connections between the two riverside communities at that time.

The bridge carries the Thames Path and The Ridgeway, two walking routes that connect along the River Thames. These trails bring visitors through both villages, making the crossing a natural meeting point for different journeys.

The bridge carries road traffic on the B4009 connecting the two counties daily. Pedestrians can cross on foot but should be aware of vehicle movement during your visit.

In the 1970s, a car fell from the bridge onto a concrete weir below and remained drivable. This accident became unexpected publicity for the vehicle's durability at the time.
