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 as the River flows from Oxford down 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 Grahame s immortal book The 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 Caf ,
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.
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together
with the electrification of the line significantly improves
travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
Recognised as a thriving community, there are a wide range of
clubs, societies and special interest groups to suit most
people.
There is a highly rated Primary school and in the local area are
a first class choice of both state and private schools with bus
collections.
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 pretty village surrounded by hills and
woodlands now 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 and Coppa Club restaurant.
