Read the full experience

You step off the train and the Thames greets you like an old friend — water pushing gently at stone quays, rowboats wobbling in time with a lazy current. The Henley Tour App turns the town into a live map of puzzles and pins: lanes, riverside paths and parkland become checkpoints, each clue pulling you toward a new corner of town you might have passed without noticing.

History

Henley grew as a river crossing and market town; its Henley Royal Regatta, founded in 1839, built an enduring athletic and social tradition around the Thames.
