Location:

Ogbourne St. George is situated on the beautiful Marlborough Downs. The national cycle network running along the old railway line makes getting into Marlborough on foot or by bike very convenient and numerous footpaths and by-ways can be found within moments of the front door, with some stunning scenery. The village is 3 miles north of the ever-popular historic market town of Marlborough and it is difficult to think of many things that Marlborough High Street lacks. Along with being the second widest high street in the UK, it is host to a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses which sit side by side with larger national chains, such as Waitrose.
There is a variety of excellent schooling available at all levels, with Ogbourne St. George primary, St. John’s Marlborough and the world-famous Marlborough College all close at hand. The surrounding countryside also is a huge draw to the area, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available. The Marlborough Downs, Savernake Forest, The West Woods, Avebury stone circle, Barbury Castle and many other beauty spots are within easy reach. For transport, the M4 is easily accessible at Junction 15. The railway stations at Swindon, Pewsey Great Bedwyn and Hungerford offer direct services into London Paddington with the fastest taking under 1hr.
