Visiting families can immerse themselves in the beauty and history of Aldbourne, a village rich in charm and character. They can enjoy a relaxing lunch with their relative in the home, at one of the welcoming local pubs or cafés or admire the stunning architecture of the 15th-century church. For those who love the outdoors, a peaceful walk along the Ridgeway offers breathtaking views, leading to the ancient Bronze Age barrows. History enthusiasts can explore the sites where the “Band of Brothers” were stationed or stand in the very spots where Doctor Who filmed memorable scenes. Aldbourne offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, fascinating history.
“There is a homely atmosphere, where staff and residents are seen smiling and laughing together. Residents are actively engaged in activities both in and outside of the home. Staff go the extra mile to ensure residents can access the village and beyond.”
