Hermitage Village Website

Hermitage is a village in West Berkshire and is made up of a number of settlements: Hermitage village, Little Hungerford and Wellhouse.

The 2001 census recorded a population of 1154 in 444 houses. Since then two major developments and several minor ones have seen the number of houses rise to approximately 770 with a population now nearer to 2000.

The village sits on the B4009, five miles north-east of Newbury in the heart of the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and was once the home of the author D H Lawrence.

Hermitage has a general store and post office, a butcher, a church (Holy Trinity) and two public houses.

The village primary school enjoys an excellent reputation and feeds into the Downs School
