The Slade Berkshire Map

About The Slade

Sunlight, when it finds The Slade, seems to linger, catching the soft, rolling contours of the Berkshire countryside. It lies 3.2 km north-east of Thatcham (from Thatcham: bearing 34°T, OS grid SU 535 700), and is situated north-north-west of Upper Bucklebury village. The quietude of The Slade is often punctuated by the distant murmur of traffic from the A4, a reminder of its connection to the wider world, yet the hamlet itself retains a sense of gentle detachment. Fields, often a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, press in, their hedgerows a haven for unseen birdsong. A few scattered homes, some with the weathered charm of old brick and timber, speak of a long, unhurried habitation, their gardens spilling over with a profusion of roses and lavender in the summer months. The air here can carry the faint, earthy scent of cultivation, a subtle perfume that speaks of the land's enduring bounty.
