Yattendon Berkshire Map

About Yattendon

Yattendon, a Berkshire settlement, rests comfortably in the South East of England. It lies 7.8 km north-north-east of Thatcham (from Thatcham: bearing 29°T, OS grid SU 554 742), and is situated north-east of Frilsham village. The village green, a generous expanse of closely mown turf, often catches the late afternoon sun, transforming it into a soft, golden stage for the comings and goings of its inhabitants. Dominating the village's skyline is the handsome parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul, its stone tower a quiet sentinel against the shifting clouds, a landmark that has witnessed centuries of village life unfold. The surrounding countryside, a gentle tapestry of arable fields and ancient woodlands, offers a sense of enduring peace, the air often carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant hedgerows. Yattendon’s connection to the poet and artist John Betjeman, who lived nearby, seems to imbue the very atmosphere with a certain thoughtful, understated beauty.
