Close to the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that stretches across several counties, you can find many cosy pubs and restaurants in rural Berkshire. Don't forget you also have Henley-on-Thames for various water sports events and activities, or you can spend a day taking in the famous spires of Oxford.
