Location:
The picturesque village of Streatley on Thames lies in a valley on the Berkshire side of the river between Reading and Oxford, facing Goring on the Oxfordshire side. The surrounding countryside is designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty` and is owned in part by the National Trust. Historically the location of the two villages is at a natural crossing point of the river, set between the Berkshire Downs and Chiltern Hills, known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap` where the ancient Ridgeway path comes down to meet the river. The interesting High Street, which forms the central part of the village running down to the river and the bridge over to Goring, is now a ‘Conservation Area` with a wealth of period properties and overlooks the lock house and weir.
In the village there is a parish church with Norman origins, the Swan Hotel overlooks the river, at the top ooverlooking the High Street is the ‘Bull Inn` being an old coaching inn. There is also a prestigious Golf Club, established over one hundred years ago, set amidst beautiful rolling countryside, a nursery and a highly regarded primary school. The local area generally is well catered for by private and state schools and is in the catchment area for the much acclaimed Downs secondary school in nearby Compton.
