Aldworth

Acharming 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 Aldworth 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.

Situated just off the B4009 road to Newbury, and only a 10 minute drive from Streatley/Goring on Thames.

The village also boasts great road connections to major centres such as Newbury, Reading, Oxford, and the M4 motorway at Junctions 12 (Theale) or 13 (Chieveley).

The A.34 at East Ilsley, which links the South Coast with the Midlands, is also just a short drive away.

 Crossrail services have commenced from Reading, and along with the electrifying of the line, traveling times to central London destinations will significantly improve.
