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

No cycling ! and an extremely steep climb up Turville Hill

Unfortunately it’s not open to the public but you can see it from the hiking path ☺️

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!

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

Charming and cheerful village, Henley on Thames is a pretty place for a stop and a coffee break. Just try to avoid the busiest times of day as traffic can be frustrating. But then, that may just be an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the 16th-century tower of St. Mary's Church on Hart Street before you cross the Thames on the 18th-century five arched Henley Bridge.
