About Hare Hatch

Hare Hatch is a village in Berkshire, England, nestled within the civil parish of Ruscombe, and is approximately 7 miles northeast of Reading and 6 miles west of Maidenhead. Although much of its population was included in the civil parish of Wargrave as of the 2011 Census, Hare Hatch benefits from its proximity to the A4 road and nearby Twyford. Notably, the village is marked by a tragic event in 1927, when a bus crash claimed the lives of seven Reading FC fans returning from a match. This context may be relevant for those considering planning applications in the area.
