Shiplake is a riverside parish in the district of South Oxfordshire, in Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Thames between Henley-on-Thames and Reading. The landscape mixes Thames floodplain, small wooded hills and a scattering of historic cottages and later Victorian and Edwardian houses, and the parish’s riverside position has long made it attractive for boating and rowing.
The area is largely residential and popular with commuters, served by a small station on the Henley branch line, and home to the independent school Shiplake College, which contributes noticeably to local life. Community activity centres on village amenities, sports clubs and conservation efforts that help preserve the character of the built environment and the riverside while providing easy access to events and services in nearby Henley-on-Thames.
