Berkshire - England's Royal County
Berkshire is steeped in royal heritage, rolling countryside, and timeless market towns. The county's headline attraction is Windsor Castle, the world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, while family fun awaits at Legoland Windsor. Walkers and nature lovers are drawn to the chalk hills and scenic trails of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, and heritage fans can explore the Palladian elegance of Basildon Park. Add in riverside walks along the Thames and bustling towns like Newbury and Maidenhead, and Berkshire delivers variety in every season.
From spring bluebell walks to summer family days out, golden autumn trails and cosy winter escapes, Berkshire offers year-round appeal. Choose from elegant country house hotels, welcoming B&Bs, historic coaching inns, or modern self-catering stays - the perfect base for exploring England's Royal County.
