Kintbury is a picturesque village in West Berkshire, England, sited in the Kennet valley where the River Kennet runs beside the historic Kennet and Avon Canal. It sits on the edge of the North Wessex Downs AONB, with chalk downland nearby such as Walbury Hill, and is within easy reach of towns like Newbury and Hungerford, with a railway station providing regular services towards Reading and other local centres.
Historically a rural parish with medieval roots, the village still shows period cottages and a parish church and has a strong community life centred on pubs, a primary school, village hall and local clubs. The canal and river draw walkers, boaters and anglers, while the local economy mixes agriculture and small businesses with many residents commuting to nearby towns; the village also hosts occasional fêtes, open‑garden events and other community festivals that keep a lively social scene.
