Best Places in Berkshire

Описание: The county of Berkshire lies to the west of London and borders directly on the Greater London Area. Berkshire borders Hampshire to the south, Wiltshire to the west, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire to the north and Surrey to the south-east.

In 1930, the county was even given the title “Royal Berkshire”. This is because Berkshire is home to Windsor Castle, which was Queen Elizabeth II's declared favorite weekend residence and is an official royal residence outside London.
Berkshire is one of the oldest counties in England. The name Berkshire has its origins in the Celtic language and stands for bearroc, which means hilly. Furthermore, the term “shire” in “Berkshire” goes back to the time of Alfred the Great, who was the first to divide the Anglo-Saxon kingdom into shires.
The administrative seat of the county is Reading. The mighty Thames flows through both Berkshire and Windsor. It virtually separates the town of Windsor from the neighboring town of Eton. There are popular boat trips from London to Windsor.
Even today, the eastern part of Berkshire is still largely covered in woodland, such as Windsor Forest, but there are numerous industrial sites and economically important towns. These important Berkshire towns include Hungerford, Maidenhead, Newbury, Reading, Wokingham, and of course Windsor and Eton. #berkshire #uk #bestplaces
