High Street, Dorchester-on-Thames

The Roman town of Dorcic, or Dorchester as it is now called, is an attractive and prosperous Thames-side village. The village is actually about a quarter of a mile away from the Thames at its confluence with the River Thame and can only be seen by taking the footpath towards Day's Lock and Little Wittenham. Along the High Street there are a number of fine period buildings which give the village its special character. Today Dorchester is firmly established on the tourist trail and Dorchester Abbey is clearly the main attraction. Two coaching inns remain out of the original ten, and antique shops are very prominent in the High Street. The bypass has removed most of the traffic and Dorchester is now pleasantly quiet with only local traffic passing through.
