LOCATION
Goring-on-Thames lies serenely in the beautiful Thames Valley, set between the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire and the Berkshire Downlands opposite above the village of Streatley. The area is known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the Year’ and also the ‘Britain in Bloom’ competition several times including 2022. Local amenities include an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, together with 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.
