Few villages in the valley are as well connected, which makes it popular with commuters as well as families.

Great Shefford has the feel of a working valley village. A shop with a post office, a petrol station and The Great Shefford pub and restaurant keep daily life local, and the Chaddleworth St Andrew's and Shefford CE Federated Primary Schools serve Great Shefford and Chaddleworth, with John O'Gaunt School in Hungerford a nearby secondary option for ages 11 to 16. The Millennium Stone opposite the petrol station carries the names of 880 residents, out of a population of 937 at the 2011 census, which says a lot about how people here see their village.
The name comes from the Old English for 'sheep ford'. St Mary's Church is one of only two round tower churches in Berkshire, with a tower that appears to date from the 13th century, and nearby East Shefford has the Grade I listed St Thomas' Church with its Fettiplace monuments. The River Lambourn is a chalk stream and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, kept flowing all year from here down through Welford and Boxford by springs just above the village. Homes include detached family houses, bungalows, modern link detached homes, terraces and the occasional country house on a larger plot.
The Lambourn Valley Railway once stopped here, from 1898 until 1960. Newbury station is now about 10.5 miles away, with an hourly semi-fast Great Western Railway service to London Paddington, and Hungerford station is also within reach. The A338 links Wantage to the north with Hungerford to the south, passing Shefford Woodlands on its way to Junction 14 for Reading, Swindon and London, and bus route 4 between Newbury and Lambourn serves the village.
