WELCOME to the Binfield Heath website. We hope you find the information here useful and interesting and look forward to your contributions on the Binfield Heath Blog.

Binfield Heath village and the hamlet of Crowsley a mile to the north make up the civil parish of Binfield Heath, created in 2003. The parish includes around 320 households and an electorate of over 500. It borders the parishes of Eye & Dunsden to the west, Harpsden to the east and Shiplake to the south.

Binfield Heath Village Stores and Post Office  (pictured above) is the focal point of the village. Although there is no Church of England Parish Church – people use Dunsden and Shiplake Churches – there is a Congregational chapel on Dunsden Way. The local primary school is on the outskirts of the village at Shiplake Cross and serves children from all the local villages.

The village playground, cared for by volunteers and managed by the Parish Council, is a big attraction to parents and young children from miles around.

Although we are no more than five miles from Henley or Reading, this parish retains its rural character, which is much prized by those who live here. More than 20 miles of footpaths criss-cross the parish and are popular with residents and walking groups.
There are two pubs in the village, both well known, The Bottle and Glass and The White Hart.

The village has a flourishing social life – see the section on Binfield Heath Community.
