Upper Basildon Berkshire Map

About Upper Basildon

Sunlight, often a soft, pearlescent wash in this corner of Berkshire, lends a quiet glow to Upper Basildon. It lies 11.9 km north-east of Thatcham (from Thatcham: bearing 43°T, OS grid SU 598 761), and is situated west-north-west of New Town village. The gentle slopes of the Berkshire Downs rise and fall around Upper Basildon, their chalky soils supporting a patchwork of fields where the scent of cultivated land mingles with the wilder perfume of hedgerows. Ancient oak and beech trees, their branches reaching like patient arms, stand sentinel along the lanes, their leaves rustling with the whispers of seasons past. The Thames, a silver ribbon in the distance, exerts its subtle influence on the local climate and the very rhythm of life. In the quiet of the evening, the distant chime of church bells might drift on the air, a timeless sound marking the passing of another day in Upper Basildon.
