St James the Great Church, Ruscombe

Highlight • Historical Site

The Church of England parish church of St James was built in the late 12th century.

Its Norman chancel survives but its nave and west tower were rebuilt in 1638–39. Additional modifications were made in the 1800s.

Sonning Centre

Highlight • Viewpoint

Can get busy but nothing moves as the traffic gets gridlocked to the bridge, easy to manoeuvre and skip past on a bike though. Some lovely historic buildings and great views further on by the Thames

Devil's Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice quiet lanes away from traffic connecting Henley with Sonning.

There is some climbing to be done (clue is in the name) but it isn't terrible and it's not too long, so definitely worth choosing over the main roads.

Remenham Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Quieter alternative to White Hill (main road) heading east out of Henley. Easier gradients too - apart from the short ramp near the church in Remenham.

Highlight • Cafe

A really good coffee stop, Velolife has a relaxed & cosy atmosphere, cool music, good coffee and really great homemade cakes! Also does bike services. Very popular with passing cycle clubs. Highly recommended!
