About

Stratfield Mortimer, commonly called Mortimer, sits in West Berkshire between Reading and Newbury and is served by Mortimer station on the Reading–Basingstoke line. The village centre clusters around a green and a short high street with shops, a primary school and community facilities. Narrow lanes and commons give direct access to farmland and marked footpaths, and local clubs use playing fields close to the station. The settlement pattern mixes post-war housing with older cottages and a small parish church, reflecting gradual growth tied to transport links rather than a single estate plan.

Aldermaston Wharf runs along the Kennet and Avon Canal a short drive south of Mortimer and is defined by a towpath, moorings and a small boatyard that serves working and leisure craft. Former canal-side warehouses now host workshops and small businesses, and the towpath provides a continuous walking and cycling route toward Newbury or Reading. Boats passing through the wharf often pause where the canal broadens slightly into mooring space before continuing west, keeping the waterway in everyday use rather than as a purely recreational corridor.
