Split by the hi-tech landscape of England's very own 'Silicon Valley' and the M4 corridor, Berkshire also has its own leafy rolling downs and affluent countryside: this makes the perfect backdrop for equally affluent, gastro pubs, hotels and restaurants. The Thames also runs through much of the county, providing glorious waterside settings, great views and some peerless opportunities for al fresco dining. And then, of course, there's Bray itself - an immaculately turned out village that is home to two of the country's finest restaurants.
