Berkshire is one of the home counties. It is located in the Thames Valley directly west of Greater London with good transport connections to London Paddington railway station.
The two largest towns in Berkshire are Reading and Slough, although Windsor and Eton is easily the county’s most popular tourist destination. Ascot, which is home of Ascot Racecourse and the Royal Ascot race meeting, is just a short distance south of Windsor.
