Tadley is a small town on the Berkshire and North Hampshire border. The town probably began life as a clearing in a wood that was populated.
The town boomed in the 50’s and 60’s due to the establishment of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment in nearby Aldermaston. The facility would later be know as AWE.
Nearby is Ron Ward’s Meadow with Tadley pastures, a site of special scientific intrest.
The nearby villages of Mortimer, Silchester and Burghfield are also served.
