Goring

Village in Oxfordshire, England, 14 km/9 mi northwest of Reading; population (2001) 5,500. Goring is an angling and boating centre on the left bank of the Thames and is joined by a bridge to the town of Streatley on the opposite bank of the river.

The steep-sided section of the Thames valley where the river cuts through the chalk at the southwestern end of the Chiltern Hills is known as the Goring Gap.

Goring has a church dating from Norman times and built mainly of chalk. An ancient drovers' road, the Ridgeway (part of the Icknield Way), crosses the Thames at this point, continuing eastwards through the Goring Gap.
