Bracknell, a quaint civil parish situated in the heart of Berkshire, intertwines historic allure and modern urbanism. Once two humble market villages in the Middle Ages, Bracknell has since become an impressive specimen of assiduous planning and progressive urbanism as the third-largest town in Berkshire.

The name Bracknell has its roots in Saxon words 'Braccan Heale', which was first mentioned back in an AD 942 charter boundary. Over the centuries, the town developed into a significant hub for the local industry, especially the brick trade. Designated as a New Town in the 20th century, it showcased unprecedented growth, outgrowing original plans and eventually accommodating 45,000 inhabitants.

Located in the borough of Bracknell Forest and considered a significant commercial centre within the Silicon Thames Valley, Bracknell is steeped in rich history and boasts credentials of a thriving industrial town. The town is fringed by Swinley Forest to the south, and is continually gaining ground, absorbing neighbouring towns such as Binfield, Warfield, and Winkfield into its metropolitan area.

Splendid historic buildings, including the 17th-century 'Old Manor' public house, decorate Bracknell's bustling streets. Behind the neo-gothic facade, the St Michael and St Mary Magdalene parish church holds a breath of Saxon times, while the pedestrianised shopping areas like Princess Square and Charles Square indicate the town's modernity.

Bracknell isn't just known for its business prowess, but also for its hospitality. With an array of both luxury and budget-friendly accommodations to choose from, visitors are never far from their ideal stay.

When to visit Bracknell

Finding the perfect time to visit Bracknell depends heavily upon your preference for weather and crowd. However, the climate is usually favourable from the late May to mid-September, with July and August being the hottest months. These months typically experience lower chances of significant rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploration.

If you relish the crowd's hustle and bustle with a blend of cultural festivities, February and July are the busiest months for tourism. However, if a quiet, serene visit is more up your alley, plan your trip around high-humidity months like November, when the tourist population is typically leaner. Regardless of when you plan to visit, make sure to secure your ideal accommodation with Lycafly to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay.
