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.
