Location
Bockmer End is part of a welcoming parish, comprising the communities of Medmenham Village, Westfield, Wood End, Wittington Green and Danesfield. These locations are coveted for their unspoilt charm and rural ways of life – tempered by close proximity to Henley on Thames and Marlow.

Marlow is one of the South East’s most sought after towns, with its riverside position, train station, historic streets and host of attractions. Walk along the pretty Thames-side path, explore the 23 acres of Higginson Park or sink into the sofas at the Everyman Cinema.

Marlow has also cultivated an envied culinary reputation, with Borlase Meadows just minutes from a clutch of Michelin-starred restaurants. Award-winning chef Tom Kerridge has made the town his home, opening The Hand and Flowers, The Coach and The Butcher’s Tap & Grill, as well as running the town’s popular Pub in the Park festival.

Kerridge’s presence is only part of Marlow’s flourishing food scene, with The Oarsman and two Atul Kochhar restaurants also pushing fine dining boundaries. Drive a little further and you’ll find yourself in Bray. Here Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck and The Hinds Head are joined by fellow Michelin-star holder The Waterside Inn. Still hungry? Head west for The Cheese Shed at Nettlebed Creamery or to Taplow for Roux at Skindles.

For commuters, Marlow has a train station to Paddington (via Maidenhead, with the new Elizabeth Line operating), with fast trains also accessible from High Wycombe providing a 25-minute journey into London Marylebone. The M40/M4 motorways are accessed from the A404 which passes east of the town.

The historic riverside town of Henley-on-Thame is renowned for the Royal Regatta, Henley Music Festival and the Literary and Fringe Festival. Henley enjoys a fine variety of shops, restaurants, coffee/tea and public houses all within easy reach with further amenities in the nearby hubs of Reading and Maidenhead. Henley Railway Station provides a link to mainline Reading and Twyford with a fast service to London Paddington coupled with the new Elizabeth Line which provides direct access to the City and Canary Wharf.

Greys Court and Cliveden - both magnificent National Trust houses with immaculate walled gardens – while Garsington Opera, Harleyford Marina and Golf club, Henley Royal Regatta and Henley Festival are intrinsic to the unmissable ‘summer season’.

M4 (J8/9) is within close proximity providing easy access to Heathrow and the motorway network. Excellent schools and sporting facilities including golf, cricket, rowing, riding and boating on the river are much sought after amenities and recreational activities enjoyed in Henley. The surrounding countryside offers extensive walking and riding through a well-linked network of public footpaths.
