62 West Chiltern is located in the village of Woodcote which lies between Reading and Wallingford a short drive from the A4074. The village has excellent road links and is well located for work in the Thames Valley/London or Oxford for example. In the adjacent village of Goring on Thames there is a station and there is another, slightly closer to Reading in Pangbourne, both of which provide services to Reading, Oxford, London and so on.
Woodcote is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and consequently West Chiltern is just a short walk or cycle ride from many woodland and country paths/ bridleways. A little further afield though still within a few miles, are many pretty Thames side villages connected by the Thames path.
The village comprises of an active community with plenty of groups and interests for those who prefer to spend time close to home. Alternatively there are the many and varied facilities of the nearby towns of Oxford, Reading, Henley and Wallingford.
Local amenities include the Post Office, Somerfield supermarket, newsagents, garden centre, two pubs, an upmarket restaurant, health centre, playgroups, library, allotments, cricket pitch, village hall, community centre, garage, Saturday coffee shop, C of E and Catholic churches, Primary school and Secondary school. The Oratory Prepartory and Oratory Secondary schools are also situated on the outskirts of the village. Certain of the Oratory sports facilities are available for locals to use such as the golf course and other classes and groups use the village hall and Langtree School facilities. Village activities, news and events are publicised in the monthly Woodcote Correspondent circulated to all residents along with the Round & About magazine which covers the wider local area.
