Paddling across Traitor's Ford.
Traitor's Ford is a ford on the River Stour, on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border in England. It is about 2 miles (3.2 km) outside Brailes and half a mile from the village of Sibford Gower. It can be seen in the film, Three Men and a Little Lady.[1]
Local legend has its name comes from a skirmish following the Civil War battle of Edgehill, when several local Parliamentarian sympathisers were executed by Royalists. An alternate name is 'Traders Ford', and that a cattle market was held here.
