Recognised as a thriving community there are a wide range of clubs, societies and special interest groups to suit people of all age groups.
There is a highly rated Primary school and in the local area are a first class choice of both state and private schools with bus collections. The central part of Goring is a Conservation Area and has a wealth of interesting period properties many Listed being of significant architectural and historical interest dating from the 16th Century. Streatley on Thames, on the Berkshire side of the river, is another picturesque village surrounded by hills and woodlands now mainly owned by the National Trust. Fronting onto the river by the bridge crossing over to Goring is the luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and Spa and fitness facilities.
