'Charvil' is a village in Berkshire, England a few miles east of Reading on the A4 road to Maidenhead, located between Sonning and Twyford. The village is home to around 2,000 residents.
A village has occupied this site for several hundred years although the population has swelled significantly over the last 50 years. Charvil is bisected by the new Bath Road (A4) which leads to the odd situation that the few village amenities are also split - a small church on one side and a pub, village hall and "corner shop" on the other.
Although lacking the picture postcard beauty of nearby Sonning, it is a peaceful, pleasant village in an attractive setting. Cut off from the noise and commotion of Reading, it also isn't subjected to the noisy pub culture of nearby Twyford and enjoys a crime rate which is half the national average. The land between Charvil and Twyford is a designated nature reserve offering many attractive walks around a number of lakes (former gravel workings) and beside the river Loddon.
Former residents include David Hamilton, Alan Titchmarsh and Justin from Tikkabilla.
