Everything about The Goring Gap totally explained
The
Goring Gap is a
British geological feature located on the
River Thames approximately 8 miles upstream from
Reading.
Half a million years ago the River Thames flowed on its existing course through
Oxfordshire, but then turned northeast to flow through
Hertfordshire before eventually reaching the
North Sea in
East Anglia near
Ipswich. At the end of the last
ice age the amounts of melt water entering the Thames causing it to cut a new route through the
chalk at the site of the Goring Gap. The newly formed route flowed through
Berkshire and present day
London before finally reaching the North Sea.
Today, the Goring Gap constricts the
River Thames narrowing the otherwise broad river valley. Steep hills rise southwards to
Lardon Chase, the nearest section of the
Berkshire Downs while the
Chiltern Hills rise to the north. The twin villages of
Goring and
Streatley straddle the River Thames at the Goring Gap.
The Goring Gap represents an important communications and transportation corridor accommodating a major road connecting Reading to Oxford along with the principal railway line west from London (Paddington).
