About

Shinfield is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Wokingham, Berkshire, situated just south of Reading. The area mixes residential streets with farmland and small woodland belts. The village centre contains a parish church, a primary school and a community hall, while shops and pubs serve local needs. Local bus routes connect to Reading and surrounding towns, and road links provide access to the wider motorway network. Footpaths and lanes link housing areas to open fields and playing fields used by local clubs and schools.

Part of Shinfield Park is occupied by the University of Reading’s Shinfield Campus, where teaching and research facilities for land and food studies sit alongside campus green space. The River Loddon and adjacent meadows lie within the parish and offer marked walking routes and wetland habitat. Community allotments, smallholdings and a scattering of farm buildings reflect the area’s agricultural roots, alongside recent housing developments and parish-led initiatives for local services and play provision.
