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.
