Location
Situated between Reading and Oxford on the borders of Oxfordshire and Berkshire lies the picturesque
village of Goring on Thames, nestling on the bank of the river opposite the village of Streatley in the
‘Goring Gap’, an historic crossing point of the Thames by the ancient Ridgeway Path where the Chiltern
Hills and the Berkshire Downlands meet. The surrounding countryside is designated an area of
‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and the centres of both Goring and Streatley are now ‘Conservation Areas’,
thus preserving the many notable period properties, some of which date back to the 15th and 16th
centuries.
Goring offers a good range of amenities, including shops, banks, library, modern health centre, dentist,
several traditional inns and restaurants, hotel, churches of several denominations and an excellent
primary school with a wide range of private and state schools in the local area. Importantly the village
boasts a mainline railway station which provides excellent commuter services up to London
(Paddington) in well under the hour. There are also good road communications to the surrounding towns
and both the M4 and M40 motorway networks.
Streatley on Thames, on the Berkshire side of the river, is another picturesque village surrounded by
hills and woodlands now mainly owned by the National Trust. Fronting onto the river by the bridge
across to Goring is The Swan, a luxury, four-star, riverside hotel renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure
facilities.
