A really good coffee stop, Velolife has a relaxed & cosy atmosphere, cool music, good coffee and really great homemade cakes! Also does bike services. Very popular with passing cycle clubs. Highly recommended!

Hambleden Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Hambleden Lock is a well-known foot crossing over the Thames. You’ll need to dismount and walk your bike across, but the views of the river and surrounding riverside are well worth it.

St Nicholas' Church, Remenham

The parish church St Nicholas's is Norman in origin, but has been rebuilt subsequently. The tower has chequer-work turrets and in the chancel there are some Sienese wrought iron gates.

Henley-on-Thames: Riverside and Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Henley on Thames is a classy Oxfordshire town on the Thames, famous for its long rowing history, the famous Henley regatta and the equally excellent Henley Festival-all part of the English summer season. Well worth a visit, stylish walks, lovely pubs and countless cafes and restaurants. Very busy and difficult to access during the Regatta weeks, it can be good to get there by train with frequent trains from London/Reading via Twyford.

Sonning Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This grade II-listed bridge spans the River Thames above Shiplake Lock. Built from red bricks during the 18th century, it's a particularly picturesque bridge and has been much painted and photographed.

There's most likely been a bridge on the site since at least the 12th century and this iteration replaced a 16th-century wooden bridge.
