From the Reading to Wantage road at 'The Bull' crossroads, turn down
Streatley High Street towards the river Thames. The church is at the end of
a road on the left just before you reach the bridge. Park on the left of
that road before reaching the church. Otherwise: the Swan Hotel after the
church will let people coming to the church use their Car Park. Try parking
in the High Street or go round to the Public Car park in Goring.
Public Transport:
The Goring railway station is 3/4 mile from the church and is served by
slow trains from Paddington, Reading and Didcot.
Eating Places:
The only pub in Streatley is The Bull at the crossroads with the
traffic lights.
There are many pubs across The River in Goring and a Tea Shop at the far
end of the bridge on the left.
Local points of interest for non ringers:
The Thames with the "Thames Path" and the "Ridgeway National Trail" which
both go off to the north, up river, near the church.
"The Holies" National Trust land and viewpoint are close by and present a
fine view over the Goring Gap.
