LOCATION
Located just to the West of Reading is the village of Pangbourne on
Thames which lies on a bend of the River where the River Pang
joins, and is connected by an ancient Toll Bridge to the village of
Whitchurch in Oxfordshire nestling under the Chilterns Escarpment.
The surrounding countryside of the Berkshire Downlands and Chiltern
Hills is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The stretch of river from Pangbourne upstream to Streatley, is
forever associated with the well known author Kenneth Graham and
his book The Wind in the Willows which he wrote when living in the
village at Church Cottage just west of the churchyard. An area of
riverside land known as Pangbourne Meadow, lying just to the east
of the Whitchurch Toll Bridge, was purchased by the Parish in the
1930s. Subsequently an additional portion was acquired by the
National Trust and all of this area is now controlled by the Parish
Council and available for the public to use for fishing, boating
and leisure purposes.
Pangbourne has an excellent range of local amenities, shops and
facilities, including a Co Op supermarket, WH Smith with Post
Office, high class Butcher, specialist Cheese shop, Library, an
impressive Health Centre, Dentist, Opticians, together with
Traditional Inns, Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant
formerly The Copper Inn. There is also a mainline station providing
fast commuter services to Reading 8 minutes and up to Paddington 25
minutes . There is a Primary School and in the local area are a
wide range of Private Schools including Pangbourne College, the
Oratory and Bradfield College all within easy reach.
Crossrail services from Reading together with the electrifying of
the line significantly improve travelling times to central London
destinations.
