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.
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.
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.
Gatehampton Road lies on the Southern edge of the village,
leading out into scenic countryside from where there are panoramic
views of the surrounding Chilterns and Berkshire Downlands which
face one another on either side of the Thames Valley as the River
flows downstream towards Pangbourne. This non estate road comprises
mainly individual detached properties, some dating back to just
after the First World War, having good sized garden plots. There is
easy access to the railway station, primary school and for the High
Street shops and amenities in the centre of the village. Sheepcote
Playing Field and the Tennis Courts are also located in the road
and there are numerous country and riverside walks close at hand to
enjoy the amazing scenery.
