Woolhampton is a small village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, set beside the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal between Reading and Newbury. Its waterside setting, with locks and towpaths dating from the early 19th century, makes it popular with boaters and walkers and gives the village a quietly historic character.
The parish remains largely residential with surrounding farmland; many people commute to nearby towns while local life is centred on a village hall, church, a few pubs and small businesses. Historic buildings, riverside leisure activity and a strong community spirit combine to give Woolhampton a distinctly rural yet accessible feel.
