About

Goring, Woodcote, and Whitchurch occupy a stretch of the Thames Valley where the river cuts through the Chiltern Hills. The area is defined by the chalk escarpment, with Woodcote situated on the higher ground of the plateau and Goring and Whitchurch facing each other across the water at a historic crossing point. The landscape is a mix of woodland, farmland, and riverside paths, with the Ridgeway long-distance trail following the line of the hills.

The settlements are connected by the river and the railway line to London. Goring's centre is clustered around its mill stream and a medieval bridge, with many buildings constructed from local flint. A unique gauge change occurs on the railway here, where the Great Western mainline transitions from standard to broad gauge. Whitchurch is linked by a toll bridge to Streatley in Berkshire, with the two villages often considered a single community.
