Donnington Bridge Road

Donnington Bridge Road is a major destination for Oxford in terms of sports on the River Thames.

It is home to the City of Oxford Rowing Club, a rowing club situated near the junction with Meadow Lane on the southern side of Donnington Bridge, and on the eastern bank of the River Isis (the local name for the Thames).

On the northern side, there is a Riverside Centre which has a sea cadets club and offers rowing, canoeing, kayaking and rockclimbing for teenagers.

[2] In 1954, Donnington Bridge was proposed in the place of a ferry that previously took vehicles over the Isis.

In the summer of 2007, Donnington Bridge Road was the site of deep floods which hit most of the country at the time.
