Shaw-cum-Donnington C.E. Primary School and The Castle School are on Love Lane, with Trinity School for ages 11 to 18 nearby. For food and drink there is The Hartley Arms and Honesty Café on Castle Lane, plus hotel, spa and golf facilities around Donnington Grove. The castle grounds double as the village's open space: English Heritage looks after the site, entry is free and dogs on leads are welcome, though the path up from the car park is fairly steep. The Watermill Theatre, a repertory theatre in a former corn mill on the River Lambourn with its own riverside restaurant, is less than a mile west of the castle in Bagnor.
The village takes its identity from Donnington Castle, built in 1386 by Sir Richard Abberbury under licence from Richard II. During the Civil War Sir John Boys held it for the King through a siege of around 18 months, surrendering in April 1646, and its twin-towered gatehouse still stands on the hill, ringed by star-shaped earthworks. Donnington Hospital, almshouses founded in 1393, and Donnington Grove, a Strawberry Hill Gothic mansion built between 1763 and 1772, add to the history, and Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown's Schooldays, lived at Donnington Priory. Property ranges from period houses to homes within easy reach of Newbury's amenities.
For rail travel, residents use Newbury station, which has direct Great Western Railway trains to Reading and London Paddington. The A34 runs close to the village, giving a quick run up to the M4 at Chieveley and a straightforward route to Oxford, and there are regular bus services into Newbury.
