Newbury
The Newbury area is one of huge variety making it a great destination for short breaks, extending a business trip or a super day out. Great road links from the M4 motorway, the A34 trunk road and the A4 and the rail connections straight from London Paddington make it extremely easy to reach. The area has long been a crossroads for travellers and so is steeped in the history of those who passed through and settled here.
The countryside surrounding Newbury is part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs right through the district from the outskirts of Reading to Hungerford.
Newbury is home to a top class racecourse as well as being home to the country's finest racing stables. If you like to spend time on the golf course, coarse fishing or strolling along the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal, cycling or cantering over the rolling Berkshire Downs, there is plenty to offer everyone.
