A little further up the hill is the picturesque 13th century parish church of St Mary's. The Baskerville pub is 500 metres from Weeping Willow House and features in the Good Pub Guide.
The area has a proud tradition of sculling, punting and canoeing. The Wargrave & Shiplake Regatta is the second largest on the Thames after the Henley Royal Regatta and the largest punt and skiff regatta in England. It takes place on the river between Shiplake and Wargrave each year in August.
