Venues — Berkshire

Our Opinion

The Royal County of England home of our Queen and the Royal Family, what could be more fitting for your ceremony and celebration

Profile

Berkshire occupies about 500 square miles in the heart of Southern England. Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border it in the north, Wiltshire in the west and Hampshire and Surry to the south and east.

Though much of it is densely populated, the leafy lanes of Berkshire, its pretty villages and traditional pubs, offer as enticing a prospect of the English countryside as you would find anywhere. A boat trip along the River Thames, which flows through the county between Reading to Windsor, offers visitors the most leisurely method of exploring some of the county’s best scenery. Another way to do it is on foot, along the Ridgeway walking path, which once provided Britain’s ancient inhabitants with a fast track across the Berkshire Downs and the Chilterns.

Berkshire is often referred to as 'Royal Berkshire' because of its close links to the British Royal Family. These include “Royal” Ascot racecourse and Windsor Castle - the oldest continuously occupied Royal residence in Britain. Today Windsor is almost as famous for being the home of Legoland, a theme park with spectacular models
