Radcot Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Thames near the village of Radcot in Oxfordshire. The bridge dates from the thirteenth century and is among the oldest Thames crossings still in use, featuring the characteristic rounded arches and substantial masonry typical of medieval bridge construction. Its three arches, built of coursed stone, have been substantially rebuilt and repaired over the centuries, particularly following damage sustained during the English Civil War. The bridge remains of considerable historical significance as evidence of medieval river engineering and commerce, serving as a vital crossing point on the route between Oxford and Faringdon for over eight hundred years.
