The village and civil parish of Inkpen in West Berkshire, England sits on the southern edge of the county close to the Hampshire border, about three miles south‑west of Hungerford. It occupies a pleasant stretch of the chalk downs within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a short walk from Walbury Hill, the highest natural point in Berkshire, making it popular with walkers and anyone who enjoys wide downland views.
Inkpen retains a largely rural character, with farming and equestrian activity alongside small local businesses and commuters who travel to Newbury or Reading. The parish hints at a long past in its earthworks and traditional buildings, and community life revolves around a village hall, the parish church and occasional local events that keep the village feel intact.
