A view from the gateway into Sulham Woods in West Berkshire looking over the village of Sulham and the Pang Valley. This was captured late on a January afternoon as the sun was dropping to the horizon. The Pang Valley follows the course of the River Pang which flows from near Bucklebury to the Thames at Pangbourne. The village of Sulham, at the bottom of the hill lies on the banks of the Sul Brook, a smaller tributary which also joins the Thames further downstream.

The church of St Nicholas in the village of Sulham in West Berkshire, England. It forms a third of the joint parish of Pangbourne, Tidmarsh and Sulham. The church is in the centre of the village standing next to Sulham House. Originally dating from the C13th , it was rebuilt between 1836 and 1838 by Rev John Wilder, vice provost of Eton College who lived in Sulham House. Originally the tower was topped by a tall spire but this was removed in 1959. In early spring the churchyard is awash with crocuses. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

A pretty thatched cottage in the village of Sulham in Berkshire, England. The village lies at the foot of steeply wooded Sulham Hill and is situated just to the south of Pangbourne.
