Map of the UK

Stratfield Mortimer is a largely residential village and civil parish in West Berkshire, set in a patchwork of fields, commons and small woodlands between Reading and Newbury. The name hints at its past - "Strat" coming from a old road and "Mortimer" from the medieval landholding family - and the parish still feels thoroughly rural, with thatched cottages, village greens and a strong focus on local conservation and community life.

Today the area combines a quiet country character with commuter practicality: many residents travel to towns and London, while amenities centre on small shops, pubs, a primary school, sports clubs and annual village events. Mortimer Common and Mortimer railway station on the local line give the parish a distinct mix of historic charm and modern convenience.
