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 Grahames immortal book The Wind in the Willows as well
as Jerome K Jeromes 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, 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.
Elvendon Road is approached off the Wallingford Road and leads
out of the village in an Easterly direction, winding up through the
scenic Elvendon Valley passing the Grade I Listed Elvendon Priory
with private, Estate owned farmland and woodland on each side. The
Primary School and a local Shop are in close proximity the former
having easy off road access via Bourdillon Field and the main High
Street and Station are also within easy reach.
The tree lined road is known for its abundance of spring flowers
especially bluebells and for the chestnut trees which extend along
part of the road as it climbs up to Goring Heath and Woodcote. Many
footpaths and bridle ways give access over this delightful area of
unspoilt countryside.
