Swinley Forest and Crowthorne Woods frame Bracknell's southern edge, giving a wooded character to a New Town designated in 1949 and set in Berkshire some twenty-five miles west of central London. The settlement traces its name to a Saxon charter boundary of 942 AD, and by the nineteenth century two neighbouring market villages had merged into a single town with a notable brick trade. Bracknell is now a busy commercial centre. The borough of Bracknell Forest counts around 113,000 residents and hosts UK headquarters for several technology companies along the Silicon Thames Valley corridor.
Ranelagh and Binfield are among the most sought-after postcodes for school catchments, while Jennett's Park draws families competing for primary places on the town's southern fringe. Great Hollands and Easthampstead complete the residential picture, with South Western Railway services from Bracknell station reaching London Waterloo in around an hour.
