Overview

Much of West Berkshire is within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering many excellent countryside walks including the Thames Path National Trail, the Ridgeway National Trail and the Lambourn Valley Way, all winding their way through the gentle rolling patchwork of woods and fields. This countryside is equally well suited to cyclists with a popular family route along the Kennet and Avon Canal. Berkshire has much history to offer and is home to Iron Age forts, Civil War strongholds, and of course the iconic Windsor Castle.
