Location
The much prized village of Goring on Thames occupies a stunning location in the Thames Valley set between the Chiltern Hills and
Berkshire Downlands each overlooking the River as it flows downstream from Oxford to Reading, in an area of scenic landscape known
geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and designated an ‘A.O.N.B.’ In 2009 Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the
Year’ and also won the coveted “ Best in South of England” title.
This stretch of the River, the longest between locks, is regarded as one of the most beautiful and is forever associated with Kenneth
Graham’s immortal book “Wind in the Willows” as well as Jerome K Jerome’s book “Three Men in a Boat” which actually mentions
Streatley in its narrative.
The village boasts an excellent range of shops and facilities together with Olde Worlde pubs, a highly regarded Bistro/Café, choice of
restaurants, Post Office, Boutique hotel, Doctors and Dental surgeries and importantly a mainline station offering fast services up to
London (Paddington). There is also easy access for the major local towns, including Oxford, Reading and Newbury, the M4 and M40
motorways, and for Heathrow.
N.B. Crossrail services are scheduled to be commencing from Reading in approx. 2021 which together with the electrifying of the line will
significantly improve travelling times to central London destinations.
Recognised as a thriving community there are a wide range of clubs, societies and special interest groups to suit most people.
The central part of Goring is a ‘Conservation Area’ and has a wealth of interesting period properties many Listed being of significant
architectural and historical interest.
Streatley on Thames, situated on the opposite Berkshire side of the river, is another picturesque village surrounded by hills and woodlandsnow mainly owned by the National Trust. Fronting onto the river by the bridge crossing over to Goring is the luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities.
