Whilst in the area visitors might find themselves ambling across the picture perfect rolling countryside of the Hambleden Valley, where Cobstone Windmill can be seen from afar, or perhaps socialising with friends on the banks of the Thames, cheering on the rowers at the world renowned Henley Royal Regatta, or even visiting some of the wineries and vineyards scattered through the Chiltern Hills, which now grow, harvest and produce some of the market leading English sparkling wines. We understand exactly why people want to visit the area, and what they expect from a perfect stay whilst here, so why not have your property managed by us - a certified Airbnb cohost in South Oxfordshire.
South Oxfordshire as a district is a wonder of the English countryside, brimming with short break activities across the region, but we can’t ignore the jewel in the crown, Henley-on-Thames. Regularly hailed as one of the most beautiful towns in Britain, it attracts large numbers of tourists year round, typically peaking from April to September around the time of events such as Henley Festival, Henley Rewind, the Traditional Boat Festival, and of course Henley Royal Regatta. Due to its characterful charm and setting on the Thames, Henley does generate year round tourism, which allows property hosts in Henley and the surrounding area to benefit from high rates of annual occupancy.

Read MoreA Day Out in Wallingford: Historic Market Town on the Thames
Looking for a quintessential English day out filled with riverside charm, local history, and great food? Nestled on the banks of the River Thames in Oxfordshire, Wallingford is a market town that blends heritage with a relaxed, modern vibe. Known for its ties to Agatha Christie, ancient ruins, and scenic riverfront, Wallingford offers a fulfilling day out for couples, families, solo travellers, and history buffs alike. This guide covers everything you need to plan your perfect visit—from must-see attractions and food hotspots to peaceful walks along the river. Morning: History and Heritage Wallingford Castle Meadows Start your day with a wander through Wallingford Castle Meadows, the remains of what was once one of England’s most significant medieval castles. Though little of the original stonework remains, the site is steeped in history and offers a peaceful place to explore earthworks, open green spaces, and information boards telling its story. It’s also a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Wallingford Museum Just a short walk from the meadows, Wallingford Museum is a small but fascinating volunteer-run treasure trove. Dive into the town’s rich past, including its Civil War history, Roman roots, and famous residents like Agatha Christie. There’s also an excellent section on the now-defunct Wallingford railway station. Late Morning: Riverside Wandering Thames Path Walk Stretch your legs with a scenic walk along the Thames Path, heading either upstream towards Benson or downstream towards Cholsey. This part of the Thames is tranquil and picturesque, dotted with wildlife, boats, and weeping willows. A short circular walk back through town takes you past charming cottages and riverside gardens. Lunch: Independent Cafés and Pubs The Old Post Office For a hearty midday meal, pop into The Old Post Office, a stylishly converted venue serving modern British cuisine and pub classics with a twist. Whether you fancy a Sunday roast or a fresh seasonal salad, the atmosphere is warm and the service friendly. The Bean and Brew Prefer a casual café vibe? The Bean and Brew is an independent gem offering excellent coffee, homemade cakes, and light bites. It’s also dog-friendly and a favourite with locals. Afternoon: Shopping & Exploring Wallingford Town Centre & Market Place Stroll through the historic Market Place, where you’ll find a mix of Georgian and Tudor buildings, weekly markets (Fridays and Saturdays), and a blend of independent boutiques, bookshops, and vintage stores. Notable Shops to Explore: Books & Ink – A cosy independent bookstore with both new and second-hand titles. Raspberry Tart – A delightful homewares and gift shop. Wallingford Antiques Centre – A two-floor treasure trove of vintage finds and collectables. Tea Break or Ice Cream Stop Café Bon Appétit Treat yourself to an afternoon slice of cake or a warm scone at Café Bon Appétit, a French-inspired café with views of the Market Place. George and Davis Ice Cream Van (Seasonal) If you’re visiting in summer, look out for the George and Davis ice cream van parked by the Thames—local favourite, especially for families. Evening: Riverside Dining or Pub Relaxation The Boat House For dinner with a riverside view, The Boat House is unbeatable. Enjoy pub fare with panoramic views of the river, ideal for sunset watching. Book a table in advance for the best seat on the terrace. The Cross Keys If you prefer a cosy pub atmosphere, head to The Cross Keys, a traditional English pub with open fires, great ales, and an inviting menu of British comfort food. Bonus Stop: Agatha Christie’s Grave (Nearby in Cholsey) If you’re a fan of mystery fiction, take a short drive or train to nearby Cholsey and visit St Mary’s Church, where the queen of crime herself, Agatha Christie, is buried. It’s a quiet and respectful pilgrimage for book lovers. Conclusion: Why Wallingford is Worth Your Day Out Wallingford may be small, but its blend of riverside beauty, fascinating history, and strong local character make it a brilliant destination for a day trip. Whether you’re picnicking by the Thames, browsing antiques, or enjoying tea in the Market Place, this charming town offers something for everyone. And if your visit to Wallingford leaves you inspired to stay longer in Oxfordshire, consider booking a short-term holiday let through Pass the Keys. With professionally managed properties in scenic market towns like Wallingford and surrounding areas, they make countryside getaways smooth, stylish, and stress-free.
