Welcome to Brimpton

Brimpton, Berkshire is a picturesque village and civil parish located in the heart of the English countryside. Nestled in the West Berkshire district, this charming village is steeped in history and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. With a population of just over 600 residents, Brimpton offers a close-knit community atmosphere, where locals take pride in their village's heritage and work together to preserve its unique character.

The history of Brimpton dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Brintone," meaning "farmstead by the River Brent." Over the centuries, the village has seen the rise and fall of various industries, including agriculture, milling, and brick-making. Today, remnants of Brimpton's rich past can be found throughout the village, such as the Grade II listed St. Peter's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. This beautiful church, with its striking flint walls and wooden bell tower, serves as a testament to the village's long-standing history and architectural heritage.

In addition to its historical landmarks, Brimpton is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes that offer a wealth of recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. The village is situated near the Kennet and Avon Canal, which provides a scenic backdrop for leisurely walks, cycling, and boating. The nearby Brimpton Common, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Furthermore, the village's location within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ensures that the surrounding countryside remains protected and unspoiled, allowing future generations to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Brimpton, Berkshire.

Local Dog Walks

Canal Towpath Newbury
This Path Follows The Kennet &Amp; Avon Canal. I Started At The Discovery Centre Just Outside Newbury On The Road To Thatcham Where You Will Find Free Parking And A Cafe. There Is A Dirt Track That Crosses Over The Railway Track Taking You Down To The Canal. My Dog Loved It, Although Being A Cockapoo He Did Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Get Into The Canal. It’S A Relaxing Route Which Is Level.
