Half a million years ago the River Thames flowed on its existing course through Oxfordshire, but then turned northeast to flow through Hertfordshire before eventually reaching the North Sea in East Anglia near Ipswich. At the end of the last ice age the amounts of melt water entering the Thames caused it to cut a new route through the chalk at the site of the Goring Gap.
