Aldworth is a quaint and highly cherished rural village nestled atop the Berkshire Downs. It is near the ancient Ridgeway Path and falls within a designated "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty." Historically rooted in agriculture and farming, this traditional way of life still thrives today, preserving the village's pristine allure and distinctive character, with minimal intrusive development.
