Berkshire is one of the home counties that adjoins London from the west. Lots of people look for places to stay in holiday apartments, country cottages and pine lodges so that they can enjoy Windsor, the castle and nearby Eton, Legoland and salubrious Henley on Thames. The west side of London is considered high-class, a desirable place to live in the green belt. For holidaymakers, there is much to see and do in the area and Berkshire epitomises England's green and pleasant land. Costs of holiday accommodation are inevitably higher but proximity to London tends to compensate.
