About

Basildon ward covers a largely rural expanse in the southeastern corner of West Berkshire. The area is defined by the River Thames, which forms its southern boundary, and includes several smaller villages and hamlets set within open farmland and woodland. The landscape is gently undulating, with fields and pockets of common land characteristic of this part of the Thames Valley.

The ward contains the historic village of Upper Basildon, with its notable church, and the smaller settlement of Lower Basildon. A key feature is the presence of the Basildon Park estate, an 18th-century country house and parkland now managed by the National Trust. The area's economy has strong links to agriculture, and the M4 motorway runs along its northern edge, providing a transport link.
