   • Windsor. Two of the most visited attractions in the country are in this regal town on the Thames. Windsor Castle hardly needs introduction: Since the reign of Henry I in the early 12th century this has been residence for the royal family, which makes it the oldest occupied royal palace in Europe.
   • Newbury. A well-preserved historic town, the centre of Newbury makes for an agreeable walk, and the grassy tow paths on the Kennet and Avon Canal are wonderfully serene .
   • Bray. Without knowing about its culinary pedigree, Bray would seem like any other well-to-do and charming village in the South of England. There are almshouses from the early 1600s and the handsome Church of St Michael, which was constructed in the 1290s and has a lot of riveting medieval artefacts within, including a monumental brass on the tomb of Sir John Foxley.
   • Reading. Although it doesn’t get a lot of credit for its looks, Reading is a large and thriving urban centre with a high-ranking university and all the shopping you can handle.
