Lechlade in Gloucestershire

Lechlade is a small market town on the southern borders of the Cotswolds where the rivers Coln and Leach join the Thames, and Inglesham, just above Lechlade, marks the head of its navigation.

Lechlade is a town busy with the comings and goings of pleasure boats. There are two fine bridges, the 18th century Ha'penny Bridge with its little square toll house overlooking the boatyard at the southern end the Lechlade, and St John's Bridge, dating from as early as 1228, in meadows well to the south-east. In summer many boats moor on the river banks between the two bridges and there is a busy Riverside Parking and Leisure Area just upstream from Ha'Penny Bridge, and reached from the A361 to its south. Tourists can hire boats from the Riverside Boatyard.

There are several places to eat including pubs.

Lechlade makes an ideal base for touring the southern Cotswolds and is also only 20 miles west of Oxford.
