Wallingford, founded by King Alfred in the early 10th century is a good example
of Saxon burgh or fortified town with the earthwork defences to be seen to this
day, possibly the finest surviving in the country... The great bridge over the
River Thames is over nine hundred feet long and has 19 arches (18 visible), the
first recorded evidence of a bridge was in 1141... This site can only be view
