Shillingford itself offers a tranquil setting with the Thames River at the end of the lane at the old wharf, only a two minute walk. Wallingford is the closest Town ( 3 miles ). Shillingford is located on a scenic stretch of the river Thames with winding riverside paths and plenty of bird life. Shillingford's greatest attraction is its graceful bridge with three arches. The old toll house is still there on the Oxfordshire end. The bridge is overlooked by the Shillingford Bridge Hotel.
