About Henley-on-Thames
Henley-on-Thames is set in an area which is steeped in history. King Alfred built the nearby town of Wallingford in the 9th century in area where there is evidence of much earlier habitation by Celts, Romans and Saxons. Unsurprisingly, therefore, there is an abundance of museums, heritage sites, historic houses, ruined castles etc in the area.
Today, Henley-on-Thames itself is a picturesque 12th century town with many attractions for all family members irrespective of age:
- Adults will appreciate the excellent pubs (we highly recommend the Anchor Inn which has great pub food) and restaurants, the art galleries, the individual clothes shops and the antique shops.
- Families will enjoy the river-related activities whether walking the towpath and taking in the scenery or indulging in some boating activity on the river.
- For excitement there is hot air ballooning, parachuting, gliding, paintball, go-Karting, skiing and ice-skating a short drive away.
- Water activities include water-skiing, canoeing, boating, and rowing
- For communion with nature there is walking, bird watching and fishing.
- Other mainstream activities such as golf and horse riding are offered locally.
Henley is in an ideal spot from which to explore this very historic part of England . The surrounding villages of Stonor, Hambledon, the Assendens, Greys, Nuffield Place, Shiplake, Wargrave, Fawley, Sonning, Remenham and Ewelme are well-worth visiting.
