Berkshire - or the Royal county of Berkshire as it is known due to its royal connections - is one of the Home counties and lies just to the west of London.  It is a beautiful county with many things to see, activites to do and places to explore. You can't visit Windsor without at trip to Windsor Castle - one of the oldest and largest occupied Castles in the world; a home and a fortress for the British Royal family for over 900 years.  Visitors can tour the grounds, look around the magnificent State Apartments and see some of the art in the Royal Collection.  You can also visit St. George's Chapel where Prince Harry married Megan Markle in 2018.  Princess Eugenie's beautiful backless wedding dress is currently on view in the Grand Reception room (although this display changes fairly regularly) following her wedding here in 2019. Windsor Great Park is also open to the public and completely free of charge.  There is over 4,800 acres of historic parkland to explore - ancient forests and trails, horticultural displays, historical monuments and lots of wildlife to see.  Well worth a trip. Berkshire is also home to some of Englands finest home and gardens; Basildon park in Reading, Cliveden in Taplow and Shaw House in Newbury - one of the best preserved Elizabethan mansions in England.
