Life in Upper Lambourn follows the rhythm of the racing yards. Horses are ridden out throughout the day, especially before 1pm, so the sound of hooves on the lanes is part of daily life, and the yards and the businesses that support them, such as farriers, are central to the local economy. The countryside is right on the doorstep: Lynch Wood holds chalk springs that form part of the source of the River Lambourn, footpaths climb onto the downs and the Ridgeway runs along the northern edge of the Lambourn Downs. Lambourn, a short drive away, provides shops, a library, a leisure centre with a gym and sports hall, and pubs, while Lambourn Church of England Primary School serves younger children and John O'Gaunt School in Hungerford, for ages 11 to 16, is a nearby secondary option.
The village sits at the heart of the area known as the Valley of the Racehorse. Lambourn is the largest racehorse training centre in England after Newmarket, with more than 1,500 horses stabled in and around the village, and Upper Lambourn's lanes are lined with training yards. Fulke Walwyn Way is named after the celebrated National Hunt trainer, and the small St Luke's Chapel has been converted into a forge used by farriers. Just above the village, Seven Barrows holds more than thirty Bronze Age burial mounds. Property includes cottages and period houses alongside training yards and equestrian homes.
The Lambourn Valley Railway closed in the 1960s, so there is no station in the valley today. Hungerford station is the nearest and has a few direct weekday peak trains to London Paddington, while Newbury station has an hourly semi-fast service to Paddington from Monday to Saturday. Junction 14 of the M4 is about seven miles from Lambourn, and roads lead across the downs to Wantage and Swindon.
