Aldermaston

Aldermaston ward encompasses the village of Aldermaston itself along with several surrounding hamlets like Aldermaston Wharf and Wasing. The area is largely defined by open countryside and farmland, with the River Kennet flowing along its southern boundary. Settlement is mostly clustered, with residential areas interspersed by significant green spaces and pockets of woodland. The local economy includes a mix of commuter-based activity and some light industrial presence, reflecting its position within the Thames Valley corridor.

The ward is notably home to the Atomic Weapons Establishment, a major local employer with a long-standing presence that shapes part of the area's identity. Aldermaston Wharf, on the Kennet and Avon Canal, provides a focus for leisure with its moorings and towpath. The historic parish church of St. Mary the Virgin stands at the village centre, and the area retains a generally rural character despite the proximity of major transport routes like the A4.
