Radcot Bridge is a crossing of the River Thames, south of Radcot and north of Faringdon, in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire (formerly part of Berkshire) in England. It carries the A4095 road across the reach above Radcot Lock. In many analyses it is a series of three bridges – before the northern one is reached, mainly to the east, is the smaller island hosting the Swan Inn. On the main north bank are slight earthworks forming a large square in which further remains have been found of Matilda's Castle and some Roman artefacts.
