"Your de France at Swinford Toll Bridge" video on YT

Can anyone identify what this is really?
From the cars I'd guess 80s/90s - the location is just west of Oxford and I'm not sure that was on the '94 routes, and TBH it looks too small to be the TdF but...?
Any ideas folks?

Kellogs Tour of Britain.
Not sure what year, but had some Motorola and Lampre jerseys, and before compulsory helmets...

I have had 91 Windsor-Birmingham proposed by the OH who noticed the video and has been checking the TdB routes...
What do people think?

I would say it was early 90's. The toll bridge was in Swinford and I went to the school in Eynsham, in the next village. A school friend of mine used to work on the bridge collecting money, 5p a car.
