Henley on Thames

Thames at Henley

Four Oaks site (could only see one oak worth mentioning) is close to the town, so an easy walk, or in our case a short drive to find somewhere to park on the way home. The Thames river front is quite smart but most of the rowing action is across river from the main town where there are lots of marquees ready for Regatta week in July. Plenty of bunting and road closures over the weekend so I guess Henley will be celebrating the Jubilee in style. Judging by the fancy boutiques and bistro's they can afford a bit of a splash. Very high prices in the charity shops Rosemary noticed! We found a small Greek restaurant with 'a yard' to have a economical lunch before we drove home.

Saw lots of birds of prey, mostly red kites, on the drive between Henley and the M40. RSPB do say they are increasing in numbers - this could be one of the areas.
