The AreaLetcombe Bassett

The village of Letcombe Bassett is a small and quiet village, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, close to its neighbour Letcombe Regis with its strong community and number of facilities including many clubs. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits such as walking or riding, they would be challenged to find a more wonderful location with easy access to The Ridgeway and other footpaths on the downs. Only two miles away is the market town of Wantage, with its attractive market square and good selection of great pubs and inns. This area has always had strong equestrian links with Lambourn, only 6 miles to the south. For more comprehensive shopping and recreational needs, Oxford, Abingdon, Newbury and Hungerford are all within striking distance as are several popular schools which include Pinewood, St. Hugh’s, Cothill, Marlborough, Radley College, Bradfield and Downe House. Communications to London are excellent by road via the M4 or by rail via Didcot Parkway (Paddington from 37 minutes). London Heathrow is a 1 hour drive.
