Henley-on-Thames is synonymous with the annual Royal Regatta, when the town fills with blazers, champagne, and the finest rowing in the world. Beyond regatta week, Henley offers a delightful Thames-side setting with elegant Georgian buildings, independent shops, and waterfront pubs. The River & Rowing Museum explores the town's aquatic heritage, while boat trips and walks along the Thames Path provide scenic enjoyment. The surrounding Chiltern Hills offer beautiful countryside walks through beech woods.
