Caversham footbridge nr Reading Berkshire

Caversham

A little bit of country, a little bit of rock 'n' roll.

Wargrave high street Tudor Edwardian and Georgian shops, pubs and houses

Wargrave

The historic village of Wargrave is one of the quieter riverside hot spots and close enough to George Clooney without needing a restraining order.

Wellington Country Park treelined 35 acre lake

Riseley

With a new A-list hotspot on the doorstep and a Duke as your next door neighbour, is it any wonder we're all desperately seeking a home in Riseley.

Wokingham town centre red brick former town hall and weekly market

Wokingham

Move to Wokingham and you'll be healthier, wealthier and more beautiful – two out three ain't bad.

Pangbourne village river trees houses and church spire

Pangbourne

A Berkshire box ticker, Pangbourne has it all – river location, great schools, cosy pubs and you can whizz into London in less than an hour.

Bucklebury

The Duchess of Cambridge's old stomping ground, Bucklebury is chocolate box pretty in the West Berkshire Downs.

Cookham

Windsor Castle Long Walk

Windsor

Bend into that virtual curtsey – Windsor has royal swagger, oodles of history and is within staggering distance of London.
