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 Marys, 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.
