SITUATION
Goring on Thames lies serenely in the beautiful Thames Valley set
between the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire and the Berkshire
Downlands above the village of Streatley, the area known
geographically as the Goring Gap and designated an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty .
In 2010 Goring was awarded the prestigious Oxfordshire Village of
the Year and also the coveted South of England title. Local
amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of
interesting shops and restaurants, together with a riverside caf ,
boutique hotel, two olde worlde inns, health centre, veterinary
practice, dentist and library. Importantly, a mainline railway
station provides fast commuter services to London Paddington in
well under the hour. The central village Conservation Area has a
wealth of architecturally interesting properties, many listed and
dating from around the 16th Century. Historically, Goring on Thames
traces back to Saxon times.
The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of
state and private schooling which includes not only the well
revered Goring on Thames Primary School and Langtree Secondary
School in Woodcote, but also Cranford House School, The Oratory
Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews
Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College,
Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School,
Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor
Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School,
Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.
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 crossing over to Goring on Thames is The Swan at Streatley,
a luxury 4 star riverside hotel with adjoining Coppa Club and
leisure and fitness facilities.
Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading,
which together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
