Aldworth
A charming and highly sought-after rural village situated at the top the beautiful Berkshire Downs, near the historic Ridgeway Path and in a designated National Landscapes area. The village is beautifully connected to agriculture and farming, which remains till today. Its charm and character are still unspoiled as there has been no intrusive development. You can visit two local inns, "The Bell" in the village square and the thatched "Four Points," as well as a notable church, St. Mary's. It dates back to the 12th century and is well worth visiting to see the 14th-century monuments to the De La Beche family, known as The Giants. You can find a cricket field right by the newly built Village Hall, which provides various social and community activities. You will also find the well-regarded Casey Fields Farm Shop & Café within a two-three mile radius. They offer a well-stocked selection of produce, including meat, vegetables, and cheeses, mostly locally sourced.
