SITUATION
Whitchurch on Thames is a picturesque village situated on the South Oxfordshire bank of the River Thames, opposite Pangbourne in Berkshire, lying at the foot of the Chilterns Escarpment as it meets the Thames Valley, the area designated as being of 'Outstanding Natural Beauty'.

Little changed over the years and without the intrusive development that has marked many villages, Whitchurch retains its tranquil setting by the Thames with numerous riverside and country walks available locally.  The stretch of the river between Whitchurch and Streatley is particularly scenic and formed the basis of local author Kenneth Graham's immortal book 'The Wind in the Willows'.  The village boasts an interesting history with a wealth of period and character properties reflecting a rich architectural heritage, many Listed as being of 'special architectural and historical merit' especially along the High Street itself which is now a 'Conservation Area'.

There is a village Pub, the Greyhound, a well respected primary school, an Art Gallery with works by local artists and a village Cricket Ground supported by an enthusiastic village team.

The larger village of Pangbourne on Thames, within walking distance and connected by a privately owned Toll Bridge over the River from Whitchurch, offers a comprehensive range of shops and amenities including a supermarket, impressive new health centre, library, dentist, eclectic range of restaurants, and bistro Cafés and, importantly, a main line railway station providing fast commuter services to Reading and London (Paddington) in just over the half hour and now with the added benefit of Crossrail.   There are also excellent road communications providing easy access to Reading, Newbury, Oxford, Henley and the M4 Motorway at Theale.
