Henley-on-Thames is a 12th century South Oxfordshire town whose fame emanates from the River Thames on which it sits. Host to the 1st Oxford v Cambridge university boat race, it now throws a fortnight-long party each year, around the world's greatest rowing regatta. Add a superb river and rowing museum, a music and arts festival, parks to stroll through, over 300 buildings of architectural or historical importance, and you'll hardly have time to linger in the vast array of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs!

1. The Town - 1.5 miles / 2.4 kms
Henley has a beautiful balance of culture, history and sporting activity. The town is rich in buildings of significant historical value, many of which date back many hundreds of years. People of note have always lived here, right up to the present day. Whilst the Thames should not be ignored, neither should the town, in all its splendid glory!

1.5 hoursOK
2. The Thames - 1 mile / 1.6 kms
Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing, and each summer hosts the Henley Royal Regatta. Near the banks of the Thames is the world famous River & Rowing Museum, and further along a fascinating lock. To walk alongside the Thames on a summer’s evening, to see people playing in the park, or messing about on the river, or simply promenading, is a delight to behold. The Thames at Henley is a wonderful place to be!
