Coxwell Road, south of Faringdon
The south-western outskirts of the Oxfordshire town can be seen in the distance. Not so many years ago this was the main A420 from Oxford to Swindon. It has now been by-passed and mostly local traffic uses the road now.

Milestone, south of Faringdon
The milestone is a small one, maybe about 30 centimetres high. The legend is 'Faringdon 1' and is on the left of what was once the main road into Faringdon from the west. It has now been by-passed.

Great Faringdon : Faringdon Road A420
Vehicles including a blue Mazda 3 hatchback (reg: G3 TKF), a black Mercedes-Benz Vito van, and a silver Mercedes E-Class travel eastbound along the A420 on a warm summer day. The white-on-black sign directs traffic to “Faringdon Quarry” via a right-hand turn. The road features rumble strips and double solid white lines to deter overtaking on the bend, with dense roadside woodland on both sides, characteristic of Oxfordshire’s summer flora.
