Berkshire

The administrative region spans 1,263 square kilometers, containing six districts including Reading, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, and Slough.

Windsor Castle, established after the Norman Conquest in 1066, became a primary residence of the British royal family and transformed the region's status.

The region maintains strong educational foundations through institutions like the University of Reading and Eton College, which shape intellectual development.

Major transportation routes connect the region through the M4 motorway and rail services, providing direct access to London and western England.

The Uffington White Horse, carved into chalk hills, measures 360 feet long and represents one of England's oldest geoglyphs from the Iron Age.
