Although much of Berkshire serves as commuter-land for London,
it has areas of great beauty, notably in the Chiltern Hills and
along the Thames Valley.
Burnham Beeches are the remains of an ancient forest and now
covers 600 acres. Windsor Great Park was a royal hunting forest
and still offers great walking country and polo most summer weekends,
with Savill Garden at its south-east corner. Our Berkshire hotels
offer great bases for exploring some of these attractions.
Windsor Castle, established by William the Conqueror to protect
London from the west, is England’s largest. The State Apartments
were built by Edward III in the 14th century, and added to by
Charles II and George IV. Most have now been re-opened after
the fire of 1992. The Castle is Her Majesty the Queen’s
southern residence. Nearby is Eton College, founded in 1400.
Whatever your reason for visiting the county, our selection
of premier Berkshire hotels should help ensure your stay a pleasant
one. |
