Newland Green nestles in the village of Burghclere located near the Berkshire/Hampshire border.

Burghclere boasts spectacular scenery throughout the year and has many scenic walks. Take a stroll along the old railway or have a summer picnic and a meander through the surrounding fields. In the winter time, if it snows, Beacon Hill and Jacobs Ladder are where young and old alike gather for snowballing or sledging.

There is a strong sense of community. The village has the Burghclere pre-school and toddler group, primary school and the Clere Secondary School which is used by community clubs and has a Sports and Social club. In the heart of the village the Church of Ascension can be found, so called as the original build was begun by the Carnarvon family and finally opened on Ascension Day in 1875. If a ‘pie and a pint’ are the order of the day then look no
further than The Carnarvon Arms, a grade II listed building and The Carpenters Arms, which overlooks Watership Down (inspiration for Richard Adams famous book and film), both offering real ale, outstanding food and a warm and friendly welcome all year round.

Just four miles away is the booming, bustling town of Newbury. The town centre is pedestrianised and has plenty of independent businesses, carrying ranges not available in many chain or department stores. Market Days are every Thursday and Saturday. Food shopping is also well catered for with a Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury and Tesco Metro. After a tiring day shopping if you would like to ‘put your feet up and relax’, there is a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and takeaways. Kennet Shopping Centre also offers great shopping, restaurants and night life including a Vue cinema featuring seven state of the art screens and luxurious VIP seats available.

There is certainly plenty to see and do in the area, and for those who ‘fancy a flutter’ then most notable is Newbury Racecourse, one of England’s major racecourses. The most prestigious race in the calendar is the Hennessy Gold Cup which normally takes place in late November.

Golfing enthusiasts need look no further than Donnington Grove, ranked in the top 25 of UK golf courses. Set on the outskirts of Newbury it is overlooked by historic Donnington Castle. It also offers conference facilities, a perfect wedding venue and fishing on the River Kennet.

Newbury’s events calendar is bursting at the seams and offers so much: the Newbury Spring Festival of classical music, the Newbury Comedy Festival, Waterways Festival, Keep Off The Grass (KOTG) dance music, Crafty Craft (a raft race along the canal) and The Royal County of Berkshire Show, now in its 25th year, which takes place every September ending with the now traditional spectacle of the mass balloon ascent.
