Beenham is a small village in West Berkshire, England, set in the Kennet Valley a few miles west of Reading and east of Newbury, close to Thatcham. Its position near the River Kennet and the rolling chalk downland of the North Wessex Downs gives a pleasant mix of riverside and agricultural landscapes.
Historically rooted in farming, Beenham still shows traditional cottages and farmsteads, while many residents commute to nearby towns or to high‑technology and scientific employers in the area around Aldermaston. Local life is quietly village‑centred with community events, walking and country pursuits making the most of the surrounding Kennet Valley countryside.
