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 this way of life still continues today thus retaining its unspoilt charm and character with there having been 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 newly built Village Hall, the latter providing numerous social and community activities.
