Cold Ash Berkshire Map

About Cold Ash

Cold Ash, a Berkshire parish, surveys the rolling Berkshire Downs with a quiet, unassuming grace. It lies 2.1 km north-north-west of Thatcham (from Thatcham: bearing 347°T, OS grid SU 512 694), and is situated east of Ashmore Green village. The land here, a gentle swell of chalk soil, lends itself to the cultivation of crops and the grazing of livestock, a tradition that has shaped the character of Cold Ash for generations, where the air often carries the scent of damp earth after a spring shower. The village itself, though lacking grand monuments, possesses a certain enduring charm, its houses often built of flint and brick, their roofs tiled in a warm, earthy hue that seems to absorb the soft, diffused light of the South East. Within its bounds, one might find the occasional ancient oak, a silent witness to the slow turning of seasons and the quiet unfolding of village life, its branches reaching skyward as if in perpetual contemplation. The nearby Ashmore Green, a hamlet of similar character, contributes to the tranquil, pastoral atmosphere that defines this corner of England.
