HURLEY VILLAGE
|
Ye Olde Bell
|
THE VILLAGE of Hurley is
situated between the picturesque riverside towns of Henley-on-Thames and Maidenhead, and pre-dates the Norman Conquest. It was known to the Danes as Herlei and is mentioned in Domesday; indeed the oldest building dates back to c.1086. The remains of the Benedictine monastery may still be seen, and the church is still in use. Ye Olde Bell Hotel is thought to have
originally housed visitors to the monastery. The re-opened Rising Sun pub
(1km) and the completely refurbished Black Boys Inn (2km) now offer a
further choice of eating and drinking. The village shop is supplemented by
the Post Office and the small shop on the Campsite.
Hurley provides some delightful rambles, with long riverside walks to Marlow or Henley, almost entirely along the banks of the Thames on the Thames Path. There are also walks up the side of the valley to Ashley Hill Forest which has good views of Berkshire and beyond. The lock in Hurley is also worth a visit.
Golf and boat hire can be found locally, within a few miles of the park.
