Whitchurch-on-Thames sits in the district of South Oxfordshire, in Oxfordshire, England, on the north bank of the River Thames opposite Pangbourne in Berkshire. Its waterside setting, traditional cottages and riverside lawns give the village a quietly picturesque character, with the Thames Path and local boating and rowing making the river the focal point for walkers and visitors.
A notable local feature is the historic privately owned Whitchurch Bridge, which links the village to Pangbourne and remains one of the few toll crossings on the Thames. Whitchurch is marked by a small village community and a number of historic buildings, and is popular with commuters and day visitors thanks to easy access to Reading, Oxford and nearby rail connections.
