Bucklebury is a largely rural electoral ward in West Berkshire, England, sitting amid rolling farmland and patches of common land a few miles west of Reading and to the east of Newbury. The landscape is a mix of small villages, lanes and woodlands centred on the well-known open space of Bucklebury Common, which offers heathland, walks and a strong local sense of place.
Historically the area has medieval roots around its parish church and manor, and today it combines traditional agriculture with a substantial commuter population, local small businesses and active village clubs and pubs. It also attracts attention for being the childhood home of a well-known public figure and for the plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities that keep community life quite lively despite its rural setting.
