Introducing Henley-on-Thames
Set on the banks of the river and studded with elegant stone houses, a few Tudor relics, chichi shops and affluent residents, Henley is a conservative but well-heeled kind of place that bursts into action for its world-famous regatta and festival each year. Outside the summer festivities it’s a reasonably pleasant but workaday commuter town with an interesting museum, a scenic setting and a good choice of facilities.
