Less than two hours’ drive from London, historic Henley in Arden area feels like a magical escape from the city. The Forest of Arden, which was heavily cleared in the 18th century to supply the needs of British ship-building, still shows its presence with clusters of old oak trees set amongst the rolling hills and lush valleys. Henley and its surrounding villages offer a surprisingly rich selection of foodie pubs and stylish smart eateries.  The bustling town of Stratford Upon Avon, with its theatres, shops and Shakespearean history is the obvious attraction and is only fifteen minutes away.  The old town of Warwick, with its famous castle is also close by, as is Regency Leamington Spa, with its elegant shops and boutiques.  Cadbury World, the NEC and Birmingham airport are a short drive away; and in the other direction the beautiful Cotswolds offer a peaceful day out in tranquil surroundings.
