Welcome to Aldermaston Wharf

Aldermaston Wharf is a small village located in the county of Berkshire, England. It is situated on the Kennet and Avon Canal, which was built in the late 18th century to connect the River Thames to the River Avon. The village is known for its picturesque surroundings and is a popular destination for boaters and walkers. The canal is home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons, and there are several nature reserves nearby.

The village has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Aldermaston Court. It was once a thriving market town, with a weekly market and an annual fair. Today, the village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 17th-century Aldermaston Manor and the 18th-century Aldermaston Mill. The village also has a church, St Mary the Virgin, which dates back to the 13th century.

Aldermaston Wharf is a peaceful and tranquil village, offering a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It is a popular destination for those looking to explore the beautiful countryside of Berkshire, and there are plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, and boating. The village is also home to a number of pubs and restaurants, serving traditional British cuisine and locally brewed ales. Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend away or a base from which to explore the surrounding area, Aldermaston Wharf is the perfect destination.
