The small South Oxfordshire village of Moulsford lies beside the River Thames some three miles south
of the historic old market town of Wallingford. Situated on the west bank of the River, along what many
regard as the most beautiful stretch of the Thames and certainly one of the longest runs between locks,
the village has many interesting half-timbered cottages and larger houses, including a 17th century
manor house, reflecting a rich architectural heritage. The surrounding scenic countryside of the
Chilterns on one side of the River and Berkshire Downs on the other is designated an area of
‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’.
The village has two private preparatory schools, Cranford <strong>House</strong> for girls and Moulsford Prep. for boys
and in the local area generally there are excellent state and private schools within easy reach. On the
village edge there is a petrol garage with a convenience store, and at the end of <strong>Ferry</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> fronting
directly onto the River is the “Beetle & Wedge” Restaurant. For walking enthusiasts there are numerous
footpaths and bridleways which have access onto the Berkshire Downlands, the ancient Ridgeway path
and also onto the towpath which extends along the River Thames leading to Streatley and Goring.
For rail commuters the nearby villages of Cholsey and Goring both have mainline railway stations
providing fast services to Oxford, Reading and up to London (Paddington). The village enjoys good road
communications generally to the surrounding towns and motorway networks.
