LOCATION Aldworth is a quaint and highly cherished rural village nestled atop the Berkshire Downs. It is near the ancient Ridgeway Path and falls within a designated "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty." Historically rooted in agriculture and farming, this traditional way of life still thrives today, preserving the village's pristine allure and distinctive character, with minimal intrusive development.

Within the village, you will find two esteemed local inns: "The Bell" located in the village square and the charming thatched "Four Points" a short walk away from Grimms Dyke. Additionally, there is a noteworthy church, St. Mary's, which dates to the 12th century. A visit to this church is highly recommended, as it boasts 14th-century monuments dedicated to the De La Beche family, known as the Aldworth Giants. Adjacent to the newly constructed Village Hall, you'll discover a cricket field that hosts various social and community activities.

Aldworth's strategic location just off the B4009 road to Newbury ensures convenience, and it's only a short 5-minute drive from Streatley/Goring on Thames. Here, you'll find excellent shopping facilities and amenities, including a mainline station that offers fast commuter services to London (Paddington) in under an hour.

The village also benefits from excellent road connectivity to major centres such as Newbury, Reading, Oxford, and the M4 motorway at either Junction 12 (Theale) or 13 (Chieveley). For those heading further afield, the A34 at East Ilsley, connecting the South Coast with the Midlands, is just a short drive away.
