Lambourn Woodlands is located on the route of Ermin Way, the Roman road which connected Calleva Atrebatum (today's Silchester) to Glevum (Gloucester).

The hamlet is in the triangle formed by the modern B4000 from Newbury to Lambourn and Hilldrop Lane.

[2] The modern M4 motorway passes just to the south of the village, and its Membury service area is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west.

However the nearest motorway access point (J14) is some 3 miles (4.8 km) to the east, between Shefford Woodlands and Hungerford Newtown.

The mast of the Membury transmitting station, adjacent to the service area, is visible from a considerable distance.
