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 café, 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

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.
