Baxter Site – Updated Plans Now Out for Consultation
West Berkshire Council is consulting on significant design changes to the Baxter site planning application.
Welcome to Compton
Compton is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of West Berkshire
Compton is one of several villages in England to share this historic name - but ours is nestled high in the beautiful chalk landscapes of the North Wessex Downs, a designated National Landscape (formerly known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Located within the administrative area of West Berkshire Council, the village lies in a sheltered hollow of rolling downland, rich in natural charm and rural character. With a strong sense of community, a long local history, and easy access to the countryside, Compton offers a unique blend of tranquility and heritage at the heart of southern England.
