Hinksey Stream

Hinksey Stream

Hinksey Stream is a branch of the River Thames to the west of the city of Oxford, England. It starts as Seacourt Stream to the north which flows past the village of Wytham and the site of the lost village of Seacourt and becomes "Hinksey Stream" at North Hinksey. It then flows between the village of South Hinksey to the west and the suburb of New Hinksey to the east. It rejoins the Thames south of the city near the Oxford Ring Road junction with the Abingdon Road (A423 and A4144).

In Anglo-Saxon times the stream locally formed the border between Mercia and Wessex and until 1974 it was the boundary between Berkshire and Oxfordshire in the locality.
