About
Join us for a ‘Literary Hitchhike’ from the historic riverside market town of Henley-on-Thames. Our route takes us along the Henley Riverside and up the Fair Mile to Lower Assendon where author Cecil Roberts once lived. Following in the footsteps of Charles I and Dick Turpin we make the steady climb up into Henley Park, returning through the Park back to Henley and the river Thames. Along the way we will discover delightful, and sometimes humorous, insights and curiosities into the area through the writings and accounts of poets, authors and diarists.
