Autumn Colours at The Vyne

The village is in a rural elevated spot on the Berkshire Downs. It is in the North Wessex Downs National Landscapes and the surrounding countryside gives access to beautiful walking, riding and cycling opportunities.

There is an active local community, and in the village itself there is a primary school and pre-school, a church and a sports and recreational ground.

There are pubs in nearby Chaddleworth and Peasemore.

A wider range of facilities can be found in the market towns of Hungerford, Wantage and Newbury, as well as Oxford and Reading.

Communications in the area are very good with train services from Didcot, Hungerford and Newbury into London Paddington, and there is easy access to the A34 and M4 (J13) linking with London, Heathrow Airport and the west country.

There is a wide choice of schools in the area, including Brightwalton primary school in the village, The Downs School at Compton, Elstree, Brockhurst and Marlston, Horris Hill, Downe House, Radley College, Bradfield College and St Gabriel’s.
