Wallingford

About

Wallingford ward encompasses the historic market town of Wallingford and its immediate surrounding rural parishes. The area is defined by the River Thames, which forms its western boundary, and includes the villages of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and Mackney. The landscape transitions from the town's built environment to open farmland and riverside meadows, with the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty influencing its eastern edges.

The town centre is a conservation area with a distinctive grid street pattern dating to Saxon times, leading to a market square and the remains of a Norman castle. The ancient stone bridge crossing the Thames is a significant local feature. Economic activity is centred on local independent shops, services, and light industry, with commuting links to Oxford and Reading. The River Thames provides a focus for recreation and annual community events.
