Description
Location
East Ilsley is a picturesque village within the Berkshire Downs, north of Newbury, with a population of c. 600. It sits just off the A34, providing direct access to Newbury, Didcot, and the wider Oxfordshire and Berkshire area. It is also well located for the nearby employment centres including Harwell and Milton Park.
The A34, once an important coaching route, originally passed through the village and just to the north of the village is the ancient Ridgeway. The village is known to have had up to 12 pubs and inns in the past, with many of these now being converted to residential homes, with only the Swan Hotel and the Crown and Horns, remaining.
East Ilsley has a long association with horse racing, dating back to the 18th century and is still home to the successful Hughie Morrison stable.
