Location

Located just to the West of Reading is the village of Pangbourne on Thames which lies on a bend of the River where the River Pang joins, and is connected by an ancient Toll Bridge to the village of Whitchurch in Oxfordshire nestling under the Chilterns Escarpment. The surrounding countryside of the Berkshire Downlands and Chiltern Hills is designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.

The stretch of river from Pangbourne upstream to Streatley, is forever associated with the well-known author Kenneth Graham and his book ‘The Wind in the Willows’ which he wrote when living in the village at Church Cottage just west of the churchyard. An area of riverside land known as Pangbourne Meadow, lying just to the east of the Whitchurch Toll Bridge, was purchased by the Parish in the 1930s. Subsequently an additional portion was acquired by the National Trust and all of this area is now controlled by the Parish Council and available for the public to use for fishing, boating and leisure purposes.

Pangbourne has an excellent range of local amenities, shops and facilities, including a Co-Op supermarket, wh Smith with Post Office, high class Butcher, specialist Cheese shop, Library, an impressive Health Centre, Dentist, Opticians, together with Traditional Inns, Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant formerly The Copper Inn. There is also a mainline station providing fast commuter services to Reading (8 minutes) and up to Paddington (25 minutes). There is a Primary School and in the local area are a wide range of Private Schools including Pangbourne College, the Oratory and Bradfield College all within easy reach.

Crossrail services from Reading together with the electrifying of the line significantly improve travelling times to central London destinations.
