Sixteen miles south of Oxford,
this pretty village and boating centre was
important in prehistoric times as the place where
the Icknfield Way and the Ridge Way linked up at a
fording place on the River Thames. Nearby is the
Goring Gap, which separates the Berkshire Downs
and the Chiltern Hills. Goring is often considered
a ‘twin’ with nearby Streatley because they are
linked by a river bridge. |
