This one is a walk through the golf club's fields, so make sure you stick to the designated paths and keenly track any fast-flying balls! But no to worry: there is a sign that walkers and visitors and definitely welcome. It's a lovely and pleasant place, with some pretty well-planted trees forming lovely paths and avenues around the golf club's grounds.

Deer Park and Henley Park form one large parkland north of Henley-on-Thames; the path running through it is essentially a straight line: it's perfectly easy to walk, enjoy watching the sheep grazing, look at the tall evergreens planted here and take in the fine views from above Henley to the south. The park was created in the 13th century as a deer park for the Fawley Court Estate. Within the park, you will also find a country house.

Spanning the Thames, Henley Bridge dates back to the late 18th century. With five arches and made of stone, it's quite striking. Its age is impressive but it actually replaced a wooden predecessor and, before that, evidence shows another stone bridge was in its place, perhaps Roman. Nearby on the Berkshire bank is the Leander Club, one of the world's oldest rowing clubs.
