WEST HENDRED

West Hendred lies at the foot of the Berkshire Downs and is probably most well known by drivers as being the home of The Hare, the white boarded public house on the A417. But turn off the main road opposite The Hare and you enter the village. It is a straggly village, stretching from the main road right up on to the downs, with no real centre.
