Ruscombe is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Wokingham, tucked into the gentle agricultural landscape just east of Reading and adjacent to Twyford. It sits close to the valley of the River Loddon and has retained a distinctly rural feel despite being within easy reach of the M4 and good rail links into Reading and London, which makes it popular with commuters as well as long-standing local farming families.
The village combines historic cottages and a traditional parish church with a modest range of local amenities and community activities centred on the church and village hall. Its history is tied to agriculture and the surrounding estates, and today the area mixes small-scale agriculture, residential life and a quiet, close-knit social scene that values conservation of the local landscape.
