Twyford is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Wokingham, Berkshire, sitting a few miles east of Reading and within easy commuting distance of London thanks to a well‑served railway station on the Great Western main line that also links to the branch for Henley-on-Thames. Geographically it’s defined by the nearby River Loddon and surrounding greenbelt, with riverside walks, meadows and a mix of historic and more recent housing that makes it popular with families and commuters alike.
Historically the name means “two fords”, reflecting its riverside crossings, and the village retains a compact centre of shops, pubs and inns alongside a handful of older buildings and a parish church, giving a village feel despite modern pressures. Culturally and socially it has an active community with local clubs, schools and regular events, while economically it functions as a service and commuter hub for the wider Wokingham and Reading area.
