A cache beside the River Thames, on the edge of Pangbourne's river meadow.

Pangbourne Trivia

Now you are in Pangbourne, here are some fun facts about the place:

  • The bridge by the cache that crosses the Thames is, in terms of price per yard, the most expensive toll bridge in the world. It currently costs 60p to cross.
  • The stretch of the Thames you can see from the meadow was beloved by Kenneth Graham, author of the idylic account of river life 'Wind in the Willows'. He lived the latter part of his life in Pangbourne.
  • Led Zeppelin, one of the best-selling rock and roll bands of all time, were founded in Pangbourne. Lead guitarist Jimmy Page lived in the village, in a house by the Thames. He invited a promising young singer from the Midlands, Robert Plant, to come visit him in Pangbourne to discuss forming a band. The rest is history.
