Boxford is a small rural parish in West Berkshire, set on the rolling downland at the edge of the North Wessex Downs. It sits not far from the market town of Newbury and close to the equestrian training country around Lambourn, giving a landscape of quiet lanes, farmland and attractive walking routes.
The village reflects a long history in its timber-framed cottages, listed buildings and historic church, while agriculture and horse-related businesses still shape the local economy. Community life is typical of small Berkshire parishes, centred on a village hall and seasonal events, with plenty of opportunities for riding, walking and enjoying the surrounding countryside.
