Arborfield is a village in Berkshire about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of Reading, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Wokingham, and about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) west of the sister village of Arborfield Cross (Although recently, both Arborfield and Arborfield Cross have become collectively known as Arborfield, and there are no signs marking the boundary between Arborfield and Arborfield Cross)
The village is on the A327 road linking Reading with Farnborough.
Arborfield is in the civil parish of Arborfield and Newland, which is in the district of Wokingham unitary authority.
Arborfield may be best known for the adjoining army base of Arborfield Garrison, the headquarters and training base of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers corps of the British Army, although the Garrison actually lies about a mile the other side of Arborfield Cross and is mostly in the civil parish of Barkham. In the Garrison there is the Army Cadet Force detachment 11 platoon Arborfield.
