The ward of Newbury Greenham sits to the east of Newbury town centre in West Berkshire, England. It includes parts of the former open heath of Greenham Common, now a mix of protected open space and suburban neighbourhoods, with easy road links to the M4 and a short ride into the town centre along local buses; the River Kennet and nearby green corridors give the area a pleasantly semi‑rural feel.
Historically the area is best known for the Cold War-era RAF base on Greenham Common and the 1980s women’s peace camp, an episode that left a lasting cultural mark and helped shape local conservation efforts. Today the ward combines family housing and local shops with a commuter population working in Newbury and beyond, while active community groups make regular use of the commons and parks for leisure and events.
