Peasemore is a small village and civil parish set on the rolling chalk of the Berkshire Downs within West Berkshire, England. It sits in the landscape of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is tucked between market towns and racing centres such as Newbury and Lambourn, giving it a quiet rural feel while still being within easy reach of larger services and transport links.
The place has a long agricultural tradition - mixed arable and livestock farming remains important - and the local community is small and tightly knit, centred on village gatherings and a parish hall rather than any major commercial centre. Architecturally the village is a mix of traditional cottages and farmsteads, and its name reflects a long history in the landscape; proximity to the lambing and training areas around Lambourn also means equestrian activity is a noticeable part of the local economy and culture.
