Great Bourton, Banbury, Oxfordshire

Barnstones campsite at Great Bourton, just North of Banbury in Oxfordshire. A good campsite according to Dave & Karen P., nearby pub is the Bell which is OK although a bit short of space for the kids to roam. Campste is a bit likely to be hosting a rally but there's lots of space and the staff were friendly when we visited in 2002

Radcot

A small Thames-side hamlet situated at an ancient crossing over the Thames between Faringdon and Witney. Radcot Bridge is a fine, thirteenth century, three-arched bridge, the eldest over the Thames. It is, however, very high and narrow and was not built to accommodate today's juggernauts. There used to be a sign affixed to a house in Church Street, Faringdon, stating that Radcot Bridge was "impassable to vehicles of the Queen Mary type", a Queen Mary being a kind of articulated lorry formerly used by the Air Force and the Navy.
