Welcome to Dorney Reach

Dorney Reach, a small picturesque village in Berkshire, England, is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and tranquility. Nestled along the banks of the River Thames, this charming village is located just a few miles from the bustling towns of Maidenhead and Windsor. With its idyllic setting, Dorney Reach provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, while still being within easy reach of modern amenities and attractions.

One of the main attractions of Dorney Reach is its stunning natural surroundings. The village is surrounded by lush green fields, meandering footpaths, and the serene waters of the River Thames. This makes it an ideal destination for nature lovers, walkers, and cyclists who can explore the beautiful countryside and enjoy the sights and sounds of the local wildlife. The village is also home to the Dorney Wetlands, a nature reserve that provides a haven for a diverse range of bird species, including kingfishers, herons, and various types of ducks. The wetlands are a popular spot for birdwatching and photography, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world.

In addition to its natural beauty, Dorney Reach boasts a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The village is home to several historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Dorney Court, a stunning Tudor manor house that has been owned by the Palmer family for over 450 years. This magnificent building, with its beautiful gardens and ancient yew trees, is a popular venue for weddings and other special events. The village is also home to the Church of St. James the Less, a charming 12th-century church that features a unique wooden tower and a fascinating collection of medieval wall paintings. The history of Dorney Reach is further enriched by its proximity to Windsor, with the iconic Windsor Castle just a short drive away, offering visitors a chance to explore the rich heritage of the British monarchy.
