Top Sights: Easy Company in Aldbourne

Step into the quiet English village where the story of the Band of Brothers truly began. Aldbourne was Easy Company’s first overseas home, and the place where the men of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment spent their longest stretch together before heading into combat.

This guide takes you through the key locations connected to their time here — from the Winters Window, where Dick Winters lived, to the pubs where the paratroopers gathered. You will also visit St. Michael’s Church and cemetery, where Easy Company attended services and formed lasting connections with the local community.

Beyond the village, the guide explores nearby sites tied to their story, including Littlecote Manor, the regimental headquarters, as well as places in Ramsbury, Swindon, and Ogbourne St. George. Each stop helps bring the Aldbourne chapter of the Easy Company story to life.

Whether you are visiting in person or exploring from home, this guide offers a meaningful way to walk in the footsteps of the Band of Brothers in one of the most important places in their wartime journey.
