Beenham is a small village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, set in the gentle lowlands of the Kennet valley between Reading and Newbury. The village sits amid farmland, hedgerows and a scattering of ponds and small lakes, with public footpaths linking it to neighbouring woods and the River Kennet, giving a strong sense of countryside on the edge of larger market towns.
Traditionally agricultural, Beenham retains a close-knit community feel with historic cottages and a parish church at its heart, while many residents now commute to nearby towns for work. The mix of farmed fields, Wildlife-friendly water bodies and quiet lanes makes it popular with walkers and birdwatchers, and local events and the village hall help maintain an active social life despite its modest size.
