Motorhome Stopovers in Thatcham

Thatcham is a market town in west Berkshire, sitting on the River Kennet just east of Newbury. The A4 runs through the town and the M4 is accessible at junction 13, a couple of miles to the north — making Thatcham a natural stopping point for motorhomers heading west towards Bath, Bristol, or the West Country. The Kennet & Avon Canal passes through, and the nearby Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre sits alongside one of the largest freshwater reed beds in England.
