Whitchurch-on-Thames is a picturesque south Oxfordshire village with a population of about 721, lying within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Most of the village is designated as a Conservation Area. The village has an ancient church - St. Mary's - a thriving primary school, and two interesting inns, The Greyhound and The Ferryboat, where you will be made most welcome.
Across the River Thames, and reached by a 100 year old lattice girder Toll Bridge, are the shops and public transport amenities of Pangbourne.
