About Burghfield Hill

Burghfield Hill breathes a quiet solidity, its houses gathered like sheep on the Berkshire slopes. It lies 7.9 km south-west of Reading (from Reading: bearing 223°T, OS grid SU 661 674), and is situated south of Burghfield village. The land here, a gentle rise, catches the afternoon sun in a way that softens the edges of brick and tile, lending a pale, honeyed glow to the suburban streets. Though far from the ancient woods that once dominated this corner of England, traces of a wilder past can still be felt in the broad sweep of the horizon and the rustle of wind through the hedgerows that delineate gardens and fields. The air, often carrying the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, speaks of a settled existence, a continuity of life that has long marked this part of the South East.
