Good looking bridge over the Thames

Hambledon Lock is a historic lock situated on the River Thames that features a long weir. The lock has seen various renovations, and even featured in Charles Dickens' short ghost story.

It was a beautiful cycle ride mainly through woods. Only two hills. Henley was a good place to stop

Quieter than Henley and perhaps more beautiful.

Beautiful Oxfordshire town on the banks of the Thames and famous for rowing. Worth a stop and wander around to break a long ride with plenty of options for coffee and refuelling!

The river Thames marks the boundary between Oxfordshire to the North and West Berkshire to the South a few miles either side of Pangbourne and is here crossed by the Whitchurch Bridge, connecting Pangbourne with Whitchurch-on-Thames. Historical records of this being a strategic crossing point go as far back as 844AD. Both sides of the river are lined with beautiful and exclusive houses, best observed from the boats cruising the river.

Firstly recorded in 1179, when King Henry II "had bought land for the making of buildings", the town and manor of Henley were granted to Robert Harcourt in 1199 by King John. A church at Henley is first mentioned in 1204 and in 1234 the bridge is first mentioned. The existing Thursday market, it is believed, was granted by a charter of King John. A market was certainly in existence by 1269. The town's period of prosperity in the 17th and 18th centuries was due to manufactures of glass and malt, and trade in corn and wool. Henley-on-Thames supplied London with timber and grain. Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henley-on-Thames
