Berkshire

Welcome to your regional PTA page. The Royal County of Berkshire is home to Windsor Castle, the oldest occupied castle in the world and residence to 39 monarchs since the 11th century. Not satisfied with one world-famous estate, it's also host to Highclere Castle of Downton Abbey fame. If you're still stuck for places to wear a fancy hat, there's always Ascot Racecourse.
