Sightseeing
Windsor
I have visited Henley several time and love it. For non-drivers, there is a local bus service to get you there and back. The shopping is great with plenty of places to eat to suit all budgets.

Cholsey
It’s worth visiting Cholsey to see Agatha Christie’s grave.
My Mother in Law owned this antiques centre for several decades and now co-manages it. It’s Grade II listed, iconic and characteristic former hotel, dating back to the 1500s. Well worth a visit.
Phil runs the Tea Rooms on the top floor. He is a real foodie and creates some wonderful dishes. It’s where my husband Alex and I, had our wedding reception last year. Phil pulled out all the stops and we had an amazing time.
