Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- The nearest airport is Heathrow, roughly 45 minutes’ drive from Goring. RailAir coaches link Heathrow to Reading station (www.railair.com). Gatwick is about an hour away by car. The Gatwick Express (www.gatwickexpress.com) departs every 20 minutes for London Victoria, which has easy connections to Berkshire stations.
- Trains
- From London Waterloo, there are frequent services to Windsor and Reading; Reading also has national links to Edinburgh, Swansea, Oxford and Bristol, among others. Paddington station also offers good connections with Berkshire stations.
- Automobiles
- It’s well worth having your own wheels: some of these country lanes are a sight to behold. The area is popular with weekending Londoners, though, so roads can be busy on Friday and Sunday afternoons.
