ABOUT THIS AREA

Almost equidistant between Reading & Basingstoke, on the Hampshire / Berkshire borders, Silchester is most notable for the archaeological site and Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum, first occupied by the

Romans in about AD 45, and which includes what is considered the best-preserved Roman wall in Great Britain and the remains of what may be one of the oldest Christian churches.

The village has a thriving community with a primary school, pub, The Calleva Arms, as well as a Village Hall. With access to the Common and Pamber Forest, it’s an idyllic spot with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors. Greenlands Farm has easy access to a number of excellent schools such as Elstree, Cheam, Daneshill and also Bradfield, Wellington and Winchester to name a few. With both Reading (Paddington & Elizabeth lines) and Basingstoke (Waterloo line) within striking distance, Silchester is well-connected and well positioned for both the M4, M3 and A34.
