LOCATION
The picturesque village of Streatley on Thames lies in a wide
valley on the Berkshire side of the river between Reading and
Oxford, opposite Goring on the Oxfordshire bank with the
surrounding countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty . Historically the two villages are located at a natural
crossing point of the river, set between the Berkshire Downs and
Chiltern Hills, known geographically as the Goring Gap where the
ancient Ridgeway path comes down to meet the river after its long
journey across the Berkshire Downlands before continuing up onto
the Chiltern Hills and the Icknield Way.
The interesting High Street, which forms the central part of the
village running down to the river and the bridge over to Goring, is
now a Conservation Area with a wealth of period properties many of
considerable architectural merit including a thatched cottage, a
beautiful William and Mary house and an Elizabethan Farmhouse.
The village has a parish church with Norman origins, The Swan a
luxury 4 star riverside hotel also offering a leisure and fitness
club, and at the top of the High Street is the Bull Inn being an
old coaching inn from the era when the Royal Mail stopped en route
from London to Oxford.? There is also a prestigious Golf Club,
established over 100 years ago, set amidst beautiful rolling
countryside. Streatley has a highly rated Primary School with a
separate Nursery and is also is in the catchment area for the much
acclaimed Downs Secondary school in Compton.
Across the river, the larger village of Goring on Thames offers
a wide range of amenities and facilities including shops, modern
health centre, traditional inns, choice of restaurants, Gourmet
Deli, a riverside caf , Boutique hotel, library, dentist and
importantly a main line railway station providing excellent
commuter services to Reading and up to London Paddington in under
the hour and with connections for the future Crossrail services
into central London.
Behind Streatley the ground rises steeply where the Berkshire
Downlands meet the Thames Valley and from the top there are
panoramic views far into Oxfordshire. The woodland and hills
surrounding Streatley have been acquired in recent years by the
National Trust and there are extensive bridleways and footpaths
open to the public.
