Greenham sits on the gravel plateau just south of Newbury and Thatcham, a landscape defined largely by its expansive Common. Once known globally as the site of a Cold War airbase and the accompanying peace camps, the area has undergone a quiet transformation since the late 1990s. Today, the Common is a vast, open heathland and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, where cattle and ponies roam freely across the old runways to keep the scrub in check. Geographically, it serves as a natural buffer between the urban edge of Thatcham and the rural slopes leading down toward the River Enborne and the Hampshire border. While the Business Park on the eastern edge provides a significant local employment hub, the residential pockets are prized for their immediate access to the outdoors. It’s a place where you can walk for miles on level ground, passing by the old control tower - now a community cafe - and still be only a few minutes’ drive from the railway stations at Thatcham or Newbury for connections to Reading and London.
