Welcome to Enborne

Enborne is a picturesque village and civil parish located in the heart of the English county of Berkshire. Nestled in the rolling countryside, this charming settlement is steeped in history and natural beauty, making it an idyllic destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The village is situated approximately two miles southwest of the bustling market town of Newbury, providing residents and visitors with easy access to a range of amenities and attractions, while still maintaining a sense of rural tranquility.

The history of Enborne dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as being part of the extensive lands held by the powerful Norman nobleman, Hugh de Port. Over the centuries, the village has seen its fair share of historical events, including the famous Battle of Newbury in 1643, which took place during the English Civil War. The Enborne River, which meanders through the village, played a significant role in the battle, as it formed a natural defensive barrier for the Royalist forces. Today, the village is home to a number of historical landmarks, including the beautiful St. Michael and All Angels Church, which dates back to the 13th century and features stunning stained-glass windows and intricate wood carvings.

Enborne's rural setting makes it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding countryside offers a plethora of walking and cycling routes, allowing visitors to explore the area's rich flora and fauna. The village is also home to several equestrian centers, providing opportunities for horse riding and lessons. Additionally, the Enborne River and the nearby Kennet and Avon Canal offer excellent opportunities for fishing and boating, making Enborne an ideal destination for those seeking a range of outdoor pursuits. The village's close proximity to the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty further enhances its appeal as a destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural world.
