Berkshire · local guide
Woolhampton is a village on the A4 between Reading and Newbury, where the Kennet and Avon Canal and the railway run side by side. Small as it is, collection here is no different from a town.

The village straddles the A4, with the canal, Woolhampton lock and a swing bridge to the south. Midgham railway station is actually in Woolhampton, which confuses plenty of visitors. Upper Woolhampton, on the hill to the north, is home to Douai Abbey.
Most homes here have drives, and the A4 gives easy access for recovery vehicles from either direction.
Homes and businesses south of the canal are reached across the swing bridge and level crossing. Both can cause short waits, so a time window rather than an exact time keeps collection relaxed.
