Local Area
We are in the conservation area of Wallingford, two minutes from the Market Square, with a wide choice of coffee shops, restaurants, Waitrose, a theatre/cinema, antiques shops, a sewing shop, hat shop etc..
Service buses are available to Oxford, Henley & Reading.
Our Victorian Gothic cottage is close to all Wallingford’s amenities, yet quiet as on a small one-way street. It is light and airy as south-facing, recently renovated so warm and cosy in winter. We hope you love it as much as we do!
It is on the Thames Path so is ideal for walkers. Boats and kayaks can be hired at Benson Lock, five minutes by car or half an hour’s walk along the Thames Path. Five minutes’ walk across the river is an outdoor swimming pool (open May-September) and splash park. There is also a mini beach by the bridge for bathing in the Thames.
Three National Trust properties are within half an hour’s drive.
Dorchester Abbey holds regular concerts, as does St Mary’s Church on our doorstep.
Beale Park open air zoo is half an hour’s drive away.
