The small rural parish of Ufton Nervet sits in West Berkshire in England, tucked into the Kennet Valley between Reading and Newbury along the old A4 and close to the River Kennet. It’s largely agricultural with scattered houses and farmsteads, and the nearby Elizabethan manor Ufton Court - a listed house with historic gardens and regular educational and community events - provides a cultural focal point.
The community is small and quiet, with local life shaped by farming and parish activities. The village also attracted national attention after a fatal level-crossing crash in 2004 on the railway, an event that led to safety improvements and remains a significant part of its recent history.
