Shaw-cum-Donnington is located just north of Newbury in West Berkshire. The parish is perhaps best known for Donnington Castle, the area behind the site of the 2nd battle of Newbury in 1644. Entry to the Castle is free and it’s open all year round. To get to the Castle you have to pass through the charming village of Donnington, which contains many listed buildings. Another place of historic interest is Shaw House which has recently undergone extensive renovations and is now used for civil weddings. Apart from its rich history, it’s located in beautiful countryside, has renowned hotels, pubs and golf courses and is the home of Vodafone.
There are three Neighbourhood Watch groups in the Parish: Donnington Village, Kingsley Close/Owen Road and Long Lane (south end) and it’s nice to know we’re helping out.
