강과 운하가 이 땅을 가로지르는데, 이는 산업화 초기 시대에 교통 인프라의 매우 중요한 부분이었기 때문입니다. 결국 공장에서는 이전에는 알려지지 않았던 엄청난 양의 원자재를 공급받아야 했고, 완제품도 상인에게 전달되어야 했습니다. 많은 운하가 이 시대에 만들어졌습니다. 이후 철도가, 그리고 나중에는 트럭이 상품 운송을 담당하게 되었습니다. 인공 수로를 건설하고 강을 항해 가능하게 만들 때, 고도 차이를 극복해야 한다는 점을 항상 고려해야 했기 때문에, 운하와 강을 따라 상황에 따라 크고 작은 간격으로 수문이 늘어서 있습니다. 수문의 도움으로만 선박 운항이 가능했습니다.

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Particularly on a clear, sunny day, this is a fantastically beautiful walk. River Thames winds its way slowly towards Goring-on-Thames, but you also pass beautiful green fields with livestock grazing in them as you walk. A lovely, peaceful and tranquil walk.
