Farm strip near Henley on Thames

A few weeks ago I was transitting to Middle Wallop and overflew what looked like a very picturesque farm strip in the vicinity of Henley-on-Thames / north of Reading. With no time to waste to have a closer look I did not pay detailed attention to its location, but thinking about it a few weeks later, would any ppruner happen to know of any farm strips in that area that could be the one I over flew? I recall that it was quite close to the Thames (ie within a mile or two. Pretty scant directions to go on. Sorry.

Southern X,

Nice isn't it? I've seen it a few times, and I think it's been there about 15 years. No idea who owns it though
