About

Barkham & Arborfield ward encompasses a mix of rural and suburban landscapes on the southern edge of Wokingham. The area features residential neighbourhoods, including parts of Arborfield Garrison, a former military base undergoing significant redevelopment into new housing. Large tracts of agricultural land and woodland, such as Barkham Ride, define its western and southern boundaries. The ward is primarily residential, with local services clustered around the Arborfield Cross area.

The physical landscape is characterised by the River Loddon flowing along its eastern side, with areas of floodplain meadow. The historical Arborfield Hall, a manor house with medieval origins, sits within the parish. The ongoing Arborfield Green development is creating a new community centre with facilities on the old garrison land, fundamentally reshaping the area's eastern section. Transport links are provided by the Reading to Basingstoke railway line, which skirts the ward.
