It is surrounded by attractive countryside yet is just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Newbury (6 miles) and just 2.5 miles from access to the western Newbury by-pass, the A34, which also gives speedy access to the M4 at junction 13. Newbury town offers a good selection of shops and supermarkets. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, public houses and leisure facilities, including Newbury Racecourse, the attractive Kennet & Avon canal, Vue cinema, Corn Exchange and Watermill theatres. There are arts and sports centres, health and golf clubs, a bowls club, museums and an outdoor market on Thursdays and Saturdays. There are well regarded schools for all age groups and Newbury College, with its campus to the south of the town. There is excellent access to the major road routes of A34 and M4 and the mainline rail station to London (Paddington).
