About Berkshire

Berkshire is more than a place to live; it is a place to stay. Culture, sports, shopping and nightlife opportunities are all on your doorstep, which means whatever you are looking for you will find it and more. Reading’s national train station boasts high-speed access to the south West, the Midlands and London, and soon, the Crossrail. The M4 and M3 give Berkshire exceptionally high commuter access to neighbouring counties, high liveability and one of the lowest rates of unemployment nationwide.

The county is steeped in history; the grand Windsor castle regularly attracts tourists and locals alike as well as Ascot Racecourse which is a popular destination for both racing and fashion enthusiasts. For more alternative culture, Reading Festival, held every August, is one of the largest music events in the world.

When it comes to quality of life, living in Berkshire gives you the best of both worlds. You can visit London easily without actually having to live in the urban capital, and escape to the peace and nature of the Berkshire countryside as often as is needed!
