Welcome to Beenham Stocks

Beenham Stocks is a small, picturesque village located in the heart of Berkshire, England. Nestled between the larger towns of Reading and Newbury, this charming rural community offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its rich history, beautiful countryside, and close-knit community, Beenham Stocks is a hidden gem that is well worth exploring.

The history of Beenham Stocks dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as a small settlement with a population of just 20 households. Over the centuries, the village has grown and evolved, but it has managed to retain its unique character and charm. Many of the buildings in Beenham Stocks are of historical significance, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village is also home to several traditional English pubs, such as The Six Bells and The Bull, which serve as popular gathering spots for locals and visitors alike.

One of the main attractions of Beenham Stocks is its stunning countryside, which offers a wealth of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush woodlands, and picturesque meadows, making it an ideal location for walking, cycling, and horse riding. The nearby Kennet and Avon Canal provides a scenic backdrop for leisurely strolls and picnics, while the River Pang, which runs through the village, is a popular spot for fishing and wildlife watching. In addition, Beenham Stocks is within easy reach of several nature reserves, such as the Moor Copse Nature Reserve and the Hosehill Lake Local Nature Reserve, which offer a diverse range of habitats for a variety of flora and fauna.
