Arrival by airplane

Please book your flight to arrive at either London Heathrow Airport (LHR) or London Gatwick Airport (LGW) as they are the closest airports. For more info regarding transfers from the airports, please kindly send Ladan Soltani an inquiry.

Arrival by bus

The Braziers Park stop is located between Woodcote and Wallingford and is known as ‘Braziers Park, Ipsden Turn’ by the bus drivers. However, you should also ask for Braziers Park as there are two stops called Ipsden turn. It’s the first one if you are coming from Reading and the second if you are coming from Oxford.

Arrival by train

Visitors traveling by train are advised to go to Reading central railway station and then catch the X39/X40 bus to Braziers Park, as these buses run from just outside the station Stand SB. Goring and Streatley station is around 40 to 60 minutes walk with steep hills, no buses, occasionally taxis.
