Pictures of Berkshire

The Beetle and Wedge hotel

The hotel is on the banks of the Thames at Moulsford in Berkshire. I took the picture from the Oxfordshire side of the river, where I lived. This stretch of the river was the setting for Jerome K. Jerome's tale "Three men in a boat". The hotel's name derives from the hammer (beetle) and wedge used to split wood.

Intriguing name for a hotel and great description, 'Three Men in a Boat' is a good read. On the same theme 'Boogie on up the River' (Wallington?) is the often hilarious tale of one man who journeys up the Thames with his dog. Me. I just love the 'Tales by the Riverbank' sort of place, so your picture appeals from it's promise of a secret place further along the bank
