About

Benson & Crowmarsh Gifford are neighbouring settlements on opposite banks of the River Thames in South Oxfordshire. The area is dominated by the river's presence, with Benson's historic waterfront and Crowmarsh's open meadows. The landscape is primarily low-lying floodplain, giving way to gentle hills. The A4074 road forms a significant transport link between the two, connecting them to larger towns.

A notable feature is the large network of gravel pits south of Benson, now flooded and repurposed for water sports and nature reserves. The area has a long history, with evidence of a major medieval battle fought at Crowmarsh. Farming and light industry are present, alongside commuter activity due to road and rail links to Reading and Oxford.
