One of the Borough's most important assets is large numbers of unspoiled rural areas, including 1,000 acres of National Trust land and 4,800 acres owned by the Crown Estate. There is also a network of widely-used public footpaths, bridleways and byways which give access to the countryside and river. The Borough embraces some of the loveliest country in the Middle Thames and some of the finest reaches of river.
If you enjoy exploring further afield, venture out to some of our towns and villages and you'll find true picture-postcard areas. The landscape, the buildings, the people and the general atmosphere of the villages combine to reflect that special character which is the epitome of the Royal Borough.
Each village has its own history and distinct personality, many with boutiques, fine arts and crafts, florists and wine merchants. With charming surroundings and friendly people where better to spend your time?
