Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Exmoor
Beautiful Buckinghamshire and the Royal County of Berkshire
The area of South Bucks and Berks has a unique character, yet is within easy reach of the M1, M40, M4 and M25 networks, Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick airports and, of course, London.
Buckinghamshire has been voted the most desirable county in which to live and Berkshire has Windsor Castle, home to the Queen.
Being so close to London, these counties offer a lot to tourists and provide many varied attractions. The River Thames wends its way through both counties and provides pleasure for walkers, cyclists, canoeists, rowers and boat enthusiasts alike. Dorney Rowing Lake is set to be the venue for the 2012 Olympics and has a stunning boathouse.
Central to the Berks, Bucks area is Dorney Selfcatering Apartments nestled in a rural location, but only minutes away by car from the motorway networks, M4 J7 2 miles, and 200m from the Thames and 500m from the rowing lake, with glorious views across Dorney Common and Windsor Castle.
Tourist Attractions include Windsor Castle, Savill Gardens, Legoland, Bekonscot model village and railway, Thorpe Park, Eton College. London is only 20 minutes by train from Slough station.
Whilst it is great to escape to the wilds of Yorkshire or the sun-soaked Mediterranean, nothing can beat the lush and green varied landscape of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire - and it's easy to get to!
