Along the river-front there are plenty of benches to sit, both by the river, by the road alongside the river, and in Alexandra Gardens. Lovely quiet spot to enjoy the swans and passing river traffic.

Sonning Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This grade II-listed bridge spans the River Thames above Shiplake Lock. Built from red bricks during the 18th century, it's a particularly picturesque bridge and has been much painted and photographed.

There's most likely been a bridge on the site since at least the 12th century and this iteration replaced a 16th-century wooden bridge.
