Whatscombe rests in a hollow of Berkshire, a quiet corner of the South East. It lies 8.8 km south of Wantage (from Wantage: bearing 181°T, OS grid SU 397 790), and is situated south-south-east of Fawley village. The hamlet's modest spread of cottages, some with roofs of weathered tile, others of thatch like ancient, woven hats, seem to lean into the gentle slope of the land. A small stream, the Lambourn, traces a silver thread through the surrounding fields, its water reflecting the soft, diffused light that often graces this part of England. The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of cultivated land, a subtle perfume of loam and turned soil, speaking of generations who have worked this ground.
