the local area

With Heathrow, Oxford and Windsor within half an hour's drive, London just an hour away by car or train, it isn't surprising that so many people, both from the UK and overseas, are able to appreciate Henley's convenient and idyllic location.

Historic Henley, nestling between the Chiltern Hills and the River Thames, is one of the best known names, not only for the Music and Arts Festival, but also for rowing and the famous Henley Royal Regatta in early July.

With peaceful river and countryside walks, interesting and unusual shops, ancient hostelries serving good food and locally brewed beer, summer river trips and boat hire, plus the 4th oldest working theatre in England, Henley has something for everyone.
