Location
Whitchurch Hill is a quiet hilltop village lying some 450’ above sea level on the edge of the Chilterns Escarpment, close to the Thames Valley, approximately 2 miles from Pangbourne. The surrounding countryside is designated an aonb. Close by is an extensive network of beautiful woodland and hilltop pathways, as well as a children’s playground.
Traditional timbered and thatched cottages overlook the village green as does the parish church of St John and there are many other period properties reflecting the differing architectural styles through the ages. This essentially forms the character and provenance of this unspoilt rural community, historically based on agriculture and farming. In Hill Bottom on the northern edge of the village, is located the well-known Sun Inn, a Brakspear Pub, which has a good reputation for food.
At the bottom of the hill lies the separate village of Whitchurch-on-Thames. This has 2 popular pubs and a highly rated primary school. These villages are in the catchment area of the well regarded Langtree Secondary school, based in nearby Woodcote (with own bus route). There is also an excellent range of private schooling - Moulsford Preparatory, The Oratory Preparatory, Cranford House, Pangbourne College, The Abbey School, Abingdon Boys and the School of St Helen & Katharine.
Pangbourne, on the opposite side of the river, has a mainline railway station with frequent commuter services to Reading, London (Paddington under an hour) and Oxford. There are good road communications particularly for Reading, Henley on Thames, Oxford and Newbury. The M40 and M4 networks are close by. Crossrail services from Reading, which, together with the electrification of the line offer fast travelling times to London and the City.
Pangbourne offers excellent shopping facilities including a supermarket as well as a wide range of amenities such as a doctor’s surgery and the Adventure Dolphin water sports centre based on the River Thames.
