Walk details
This is a pleasant stroll to the northeast of Henley. From the station, we will walk over Henley Bridge, following the Chiltern Way to the hamlet of Aston. At Aston, there is the possibility of a pub stop at the Flowerpot Hotel. From there, it’s down to the river and back to Henley past Temple Island and along the famous regatta course. At the end of the walk we can celebrate the New Year in one of the several pubs/cafes in Henley!
