Further afield, the surrounding countryside is just as inviting. From its lush green hills to its gentle water streams, there is plenty to explore and discover. Bird watchers, in particular, flock to this area to catch a glimpse of the variety of species that frequent the area, while cyclists and walkers can lose themselves in its natural beauty. With its year-round accessibility, Pangbourne and its nearby surroundings are a heavenly place to escape for a brief getaway.
