Sonning is the kind of village that feels like it's stepped out of a storybook—charming, well-kept and quietly nestled along the banks of the Thames in Berkshire. With its picturesque bridge, riverside walks and a smattering of historic buildings, it's a favourite among those after a peaceful pace of life. Whether you're after a lazy afternoon by the water or a good pub lunch in an old coaching inn, Sonning has just the right mix of beauty and simplicity that makes it easy to fall for.

There's plenty of history behind the village's pretty face. Sonning dates back to Saxon times and was once a bishopric centre, giving it a little extra historical weight. It even gets a mention in the Domesday Book. Over time, the area became known for its ecclesiastical importance, and you can still sense that heritage in the quiet corners and stone buildings. The population hovers around 1,600, so it's a small, tight-knit place, but one that punches well above its weight when it comes to atmosphere and heritage.

Despite its size, there's a lot packed into Sonning. The Mill at Sonning is one of its main attractions—an old watermill turned into a brilliant dinner theatre venue with a working wheel still spinning outside. The French Horn and The Great House are two standout riverside spots for food, drink and a bit of old-world charm. The bridge itself, with its views over the Thames, is something of a local landmark. Just across the water, you're close to Caversham Court Gardens and a short drive brings you to National Trust gems like Greys Court, with its walled gardens and Tudor house, or Basildon Park for grand architecture and countryside views. A little further out, English Heritage's Reading Abbey ruins offer a glimpse into monastic life centuries ago.

Zooming out a bit, Berkshire has no shortage of days out. There's Windsor, where the castle dominates the skyline and the Long Walk stretches for miles. Reading gives you a modern edge with shopping, arts and riverside restaurants, while Newbury's racecourse and canalside pubs bring something more relaxed. Towns like Henley-on-Thames and Pangbourne add their own twist, mixing independent shops with scenic backdrops and cosy cafes. And of course, there's the North Wessex Downs—ideal for walking, exploring or simply clearing your head.

Sonning doesn't have a train station of its own, but Twyford and Reading are both close, offering direct services to London and beyond. The A4 runs nearby, making car travel simple, and the M4 isn't far either if you're heading further afield. Heathrow is the nearest airport, about half an hour by car or just over that by train and taxi combined. Buses run locally, but it's the sort of village where many enjoy walking or cycling through the peaceful lanes.

Berkshire as a county manages to feel grounded and elegant at the same time. It blends royal connections with countryside living and keeps a nice balance between old-world charm and the buzz of modern life. From towns bursting with history to tucked-away villages like Sonning, there's always something fresh to see or somewhere new to explore. It's not flashy—it doesn't need to be. It's just quietly confident, filled with character and incredibly easy to settle into.
