About

Bucklebury ward encompasses a predominantly rural area of West Berkshire, characterised by its extensive woodlands and scattered settlements. The landscape is defined by a network of narrow lanes connecting hamlets like Upper Bucklebury and Marlston. Large areas are covered by the ancient Bucklebury Common, a significant tract of heathland and mixed woodland that shapes the local environment.

The area includes the village of Chapel Row, which serves as a central point with its primary school and community shop. Agriculture and forestry remain visible elements of the local economy. The Pang River flows through the southern part of the ward, adding to the quiet, green character of this part of the Berkshire countryside.
