LOCATION

Aldworth is a small and much prized rural village lying high up on the Berkshire Downs approximately 600ft above sea level, close to the ancient Ridgeway Path and in a designated “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.  The village, is historically linked to agriculture and farming and still continues this way of life today retaining its unspoilt charm and character with little intrusive development.

There are two well-respected local Inns  namely The Bell in the village square and the thatched Four Points as well as a notable church St Mary’s, which dates from 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. There is a cricket field by the village hall, the latter providing numerous social and community activities.

Located just off the B4009 Newbury to Streatley Road, some 2½ miles from Streatley on Thames, the village enjoys good road communications for Newbury, Reading, Oxford the M4 motorway network at junctions 12 or 13 ( Theale and Chieveley ) and for the fast A.34 at East Ilsley linking the South Coast with the Midlands.  For commuters there is a mainline station at Goring giving fast, commuter  services to Reading and up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour.
