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 known geographically as the Goring Gap and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In 2010 Goring was awarded the prestigious Oxfordshire Village of the Year and also the coveted South of England title. Local amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, together with a riverside caf©, boutique hotel, two olde worlde inns, health centre, veterinary practice, dentist and library. Importantly, a mainline railway station provides fast commuter services to London (Paddington) in well under the hour. The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling which includes not only the well revered Goring-on-Thames Primary School, but also Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory 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.

The village also offers access to a wide range of outdoor pursuits including walking and cycling (Ridgeway, King Alfred‘s Way, Streatley Hill including on the Tour of Briton), swimming, paddle boarding, fishing, canoeing, & rowing (with active and well supported rowing and sailing clubs) and football, cricket & tennis all with popular and long established clubs.

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 is The Swan at Streatley, a luxury 4 star riverside hotel with adjoining Coppa Club and leisure and fitness facilities.

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.

Milldown Road is an established no through residential road situated off the Wallingford Road, comprising mainly older properties dating from around the turn of the last Century, largely built using local bricks from the Woodcote kiln and with the attractive architectural detailing and features associated with the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
