Lechlade is a very pretty town, at the head of the navigable River Thames.  There are shops, pubs, restaurants and a large "wool" church.  If you would like to come, but don't fancy camping then some of the pubs offer accommodation.  There are also B&B options in the town, as well as budget hotel chains not too far away.
