LOCATION
Goring-on-Thames is nestled alongside the River Thames, in a location where the river cuts through the Chiltern Hills and the North Wessex Downs Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This is known as the Goring Gap, which provides spectacular scenery and formed the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows. It was also the much-loved country home of the late George Michael.

Country living at Ash Hurst also has the benefits of being located within walking distance of a mainline station. The village has regular trains to Reading (15 minutes), London (49 minutes via Reading) and Oxford (28 minutes), with increased connectivity with Crossrail. 

Goring-on-Thames is also known to have a very strong community with clubs, societies and a bustling village centre. The village has its own doctors and dentists, as well as convenience food shops, including the locally acclaimed ‘Goring Grocer’ deli. It even has a hardware store, open 7 days a week.

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 luxury 4-star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities.
