Chaddleworth is a village and civil parish in the English county of Berkshire.
The village of Chaddleworth lies below the southern slopes of the Berkshire Downs, just east of the A338 road, which runs between Hungerford and Wantage to form the western parish boundary. The south-east corner of the village is called Nodmore and the hamlet of Southend sits only a mile to the north-east. In the north of the parish is Woolley and in the south is Poughley, both barely hamlets now. Woolley Down rises above the former. The parish mostly consists of farmland, with some scattered woodland such as Nine Acre Wood, Spray Wood, Down Copse, Rooksnest Copse and Bassdown Copse. The West Berkshire Golf Course, on Buckham Hill, and the northern edge of RAF Welford are in Poughley.
Chaddleworth has a primary school, a pub (in the process of renovation)and a full-time resident community. The parish church sits in the western portion of the village adjoining the manor, Chaddleworth House. A second manor is centred on Woolley Park within its own deer park. Woolley is the site of a deserted medieval village. The house was the home of the Tipping family for many generations — including Bartholomew Tipping IV and Bartholomew Tipping VII, both High Sheriff of Berkshire — and now of their descendents, the Wroughtons. The current owner is the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, Sir Philip Lavallin Wroughton. Poughley has the remains of a medieval priory.
Chaddleworth's pub, The Ibex, has won several awards including South East Entertainment Pub of the Year 2010 and West Berks CAMRA Community Pub 2009. Chaddleworth has a local MicroBrewery called the Indigenous Brewery, located at Peacock cottage on Main street.
