On Sunday, Hubs and I drove up to Henley-on-Thames, home of the famous Henley Regatta. Being winter, the boats were tucked up in their sheds, and the river front was very quiet except for swans and the occasional scull.
It was sunny but a bit chilly, and we took a walk around town. This is the Red Lion Hotel, on the river front.
Henley has many lovely medieval buildings. Even the ones with Georgian fronts are actually much older, half-timbered buildings.
We had lunch at an old pub across the street from the Red Lion, and enjoyed a nice lunch next to a warm fire. Henley is full of old pubs with lots of character.
Hope you enjoyed the mini-tour of Henley!
Henley looks so nice :) Beautiful pics!

Such a beautiful place!!! And I agree~ I love the look medieval style buildings. It's almost as if you're stepping into a different time period, even if it's just for a moment.
ReplyDeleteHenley really is in its own little time warp because it's so pretty and peaceful - I always think of Boris Johnson though!
