Map of the UK

Padworth is a small, rural parish in West Berkshire, nestled in rolling farmland between Reading and Newbury. The settlement is dispersed, with areas of common and small copses, and the nearby River Kennet and tributaries shaping the low-lying valleys and providing pleasant country walks.

The local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to neighbouring towns, while a handful of historic houses, notably Padworth House, hint at the area's estate past. Quiet lanes, listed buildings and a modest programme of community activities give the parish a close-knit, distinctly rural character valued by locals.
