Bracknell Forest

Bracknell Forest is an administrative district covering the area between urban settlements and open countryside in Berkshire. It incorporates woodlands, farmland, residential neighborhoods, and water systems that shape the landscape.

The area originated as Easthampstead Rural District in 1894 and became a new town in 1949. This designation sparked major growth and brought significant changes to the landscape and communities.

The district maintains 265 Listed Buildings and five registered Historic Parks and Gardens, preserving the architectural heritage of Berkshire.

The area is well connected by transportation networks to London and surrounding regions, making travel straightforward. Local services and facilities are readily available through established council services.

The district contains nine Sites of Special Scientific Interest where forests cover more than one-fifth of the land. These protected natural spaces remain important havens for wildlife within an increasingly built-up region.
