Aldermaston Wharf in West Berkshire is a small waterside settlement that grew up around the basin on the Kennet and Avon Canal where it meets the River Kennet. The wharf dates from the early 19th century when the canal brought trade and traffic to the area, and today its surviving basin, towpath and moored narrowboats give the place a distinctly mellow, rural-canal character.

It’s a mixed-use spot: a modest local community, some light industrial and business units, and canal-focused tourism and leisure such as walking, boating and a couple of waterside pubs. The settlement sits close to Aldermaston and within commuting reach of Reading and Newbury, and the nearby AWE Aldermaston is a notable local employer, so the wharf combines quiet countryside atmosphere with practical economic links.
