Tadley is a historic town in the northern part of Hampshire, situated near the border with Berkshire and within easy reach of larger towns such as Basingstoke, Reading, and Newbury. The area is best known for its semi-rural character, leafy surroundings, and a blend of modern developments alongside traditional village features. Originally a collection of small hamlets encircled by woodland, Tadley has grown substantially due to its proximity to key employment sites, including the nearby Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE).
