Visit Henley on Thames for relaxation and culture
Henley on Thames has often been named one of the most beautiful towns in England, and it’s not hard to see why. Henley itself is a designated town of ‘special architectural or historical interest’, dotted with Georgian frontages and historic architecture.
A walking tour is highly recommended for anyone wanting to delve into the town and its history. Fans of the TV series Midsomer Murders will recognise the distinctive filming spots of Gabriel Machin’s butcher shop and Argyll Public House. Or you can simply take a self-guided tour to explore the area and the nearby Chiltern Hills.
There’s no doubt one of the most iconic sights in Henley is the river. The Thames National Trail takes you through several counties, from its source in the Cotswolds all the way through to London. For a pleasant stroll, walk from Marsh Lock to Hambleden Lock. Or, if you fancy seeing the landscape by water, hire a boat for a unique and memorable experience.
