Ashmore Green is a small village in West Berkshire, England, lying a few miles east of Newbury and close to Thatcham. It sits amid rolling Berkshire countryside on the edge of the North Wessex Downs, with a landscape of farmland, hedgerows and public footpaths that give it a distinctly rural feel despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
The settlement is largely residential with scattered farms and small local businesses, and many residents commute along the nearby M4 corridor for work. Historically the area grew up around commons and a village green, and it is near Greenham Common, known for its Cold War airbase and the 1980s peace camp, which remains an important part of local memory; today people value the village for its quiet community life and access to Newbury’s market town amenities.
