Overview

Before 1866, Playhatch formed part of the Oxfordshire section of Sonning civil parish.

Berry Brook starts close to the Redgrave-Pinsent Rowing Lake to the southwest, running northeast through the River Thames floodplain past Playhatch, under the B478 Playhatch Road near the Sonning Works, before joining the river at Hallsmead Ait.

Amenities

The hamlet has three public houses:

  • The Crown, a 16th-century coaching inn
  • The Flowing Spring, controlled by Fuller's Brewery
  • The Shoulder of Mutton
  • Just south of the hamlet is the Redgrave-Pinsent Rowing Lake.
