Both the town centre and surrounding countryside offer a wide range of leisure and sporting facilities, such as the Watermill Theatre and a choice of three golf courses within very close proximity. There are also well known Michelin star restaurants near by such as The Woodspeen and the Vineyard at Stockcross. Hoe Benham also benefits from a local pub, The Half Way Inn and a gastro restaurant The Boxford and are both a short walk away. Local Schools include Downe House, St Gabriel’s, Cheam, Brokenhurst and Marlston House, Horris Hill, St Bartholomew's, Trinity and Park House all in easy reach. Newbury is superbly situated approximately an hour by road from London and Bristol on junction 13 of the M4. Approximately 45 minutes from both Oxford and Southampton on the A34.
