LOCATION
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 is known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. In 2009, Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the Year’.  It has also won the ‘Britain in Bloom’ competition several times including 2022. Local amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, a riverside café, a gastropub with rooms, a lovely traditional pub, a full NHS practice, veterinary practice, dentist and library. The village hosts numerous popular and well attended annual events.

Importantly, a mainline railway station provides fast commuter services to London Paddington in 45 minutes. 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. 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, riverside Lobster Bar and gym.

The area is extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling, which includes not only the ever popular Goring-on-Thames Primary School and Langtree Secondary School in Woodcote, but also Cranford School, Moulsford Preparatory School, The Oratory Preparatory & The Oratory School, St Andrews Preparatory 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.

Elizabeth Line services commenced from Reading in 2022, which together with the completed electrification of the GWR line, has significantly improved travelling times to central London and the City, Heathrow and as far east as Essex.
