Saint Helen's Wharf is a noted beauty spot on the River Thames, just upstream of the medieval bridge at Abingdon-on-Thames. The wharf was for centuries an important transport and shipping link up the Thames and between canals from Oxford and the Midlands. Here, we see it at its prettiest, with a glowing autumn sunrise and foliage giving it a luminescent beauty. The magnificent Anglo Saxon St Helens Church, which gave the wharf it name, dominates the skyline. Rowing folk from Oxford University also pass through regularly - they always practice on this stretch of the river every Sunday morning
