Islescourt

Ramsbury | Wiltshire

A pretty village in the Kennet Valley

The Kennet Valley has been described as one of the most beautiful in southern England, and Islescourt is close to the centre of this historic village on the river Kennet. The local red-brick and clay-tiled cottages and apartments are set around a mature garden courtyard with lawns, herbaceous borders and a duck pond and fountain.

It is just a few minutes’ walk to Ramsbury’s pretty high street where there is a general store, post office, library and two excellent pubs. As well as sports activities such as tennis, bowls, cricket and football, there is a village choir, horticultural society, drama group and independent cinema, ‘The Ramsbury Roxy’. Further shopping and other amenities are available at nearby Marlborough and Hungerford, which has a mainline station. The surrounding area has several golf courses, Newbury Racecourse and the river Kennet itself, which is renowned as one of the country’s finest trout rivers.
