Map of the UK

East Ilsley is a small village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, set on the chalk uplands of the Berkshire Downs. It enjoys open, rolling views characteristic of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and sits within classic downland countryside rather than a built-up townscape.

Historically it grew as a market village and still feels distinctly rural, with a parish church, village hall and an active community life. The local economy reflects long-standing arable farming and the wider area's equine connections - nearby Lambourn makes the neighbourhood part of Britain’s racehorse country - so you get a mix of agricultural, equestrian and village social traditions in a quietly scenic setting.
