What are the 10 prettiest towns in the county of Berkshire? To determine this, I visited them all. Here's what I found out.
As a disclaimer, this list is neither a social commentary, nor a guide on which are the nicest towns to live, but purely a judgement on the aesthetics of each respective town centre.
All footage is my own, and originates from my flagship channel, 4K Explorer, which you can check out here: -- / @4kexplorer

I'm surprised Alex wasn't apprehended in Bracknell because the last time I waved a camera about there I was quickly approached by security and then asked to leave when I tried to assert our UK citizen's right to take photos in a public place - This is how I learned that Bracknell's town center no longer belongs to it's public and so can make up its own arbitrary rules. Instead it belongs to an offshore company based in the Tax Haven of Jersey - General Partners Ltd. I'm ranting because this apparently is an insidious trend creeping across our nation's "Public Spaces" and I don't like it one bit. It seems not a little dystopian to me that our local town centre has become privatised. Did the good people of Bracknell agree to this? Was there a public vote I missed? Well the shopping zone is now covered in CCTV cameras which alert its own private police force to the presence of any behaviour considered undesirable. Among some of the offences you are likely to be expelled for are walking around barefoot; this is no doubt to enure that Normal Citizens will never again be troubled by the likes of hippy types, tree huggers and that scourge of crusties that terrified the nation back in the 1990s, There's also a vaguely defined dress code to keep out certain elements of society who might alarm consumers or otherwise bring down the tone of the place. You also aren't allowed to wear attire that obscures your face so that the CCTV can do its facial recognition work. They say its for the benefit of our security but fail to mention how the technology is also capable of tracking all our shopping profiles. Rant Ends

delighted to find this series. Many excellent qualities make it the best series I have viewed. Well focused on a county/an area can visit in a few days. Clearly stated goals. All the video is on the subject, with no chit chat or selfies. No food! You are a local and have done some research in sharp contrast to those who get off the airplane and follow a guide book. Very well done! Please do Kent, East Sussex, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire

I'd drop Ascot and Bracknell from the list and replace them (though not necessarily in the same positions) with Twyford and Cookham. The former of these is unquestionably a town, though I concede Cookham is usually described as a village, albeit its population is larger than some of the other paces which have been included. (When does a village morph into a town...or a hamlet into a village for that matter!)

Love your work, but definitely not Eton, as it's really in bucks, same as datchet , wrong side of the river, you can also include Wallingford, moved to Oxfordshire when it's really a berks town. Sod the politicians playing around with the boundaries, totally crooked.put wantage in if you like, and don't forget the Berkshire downs were moved to Oxfordshire.
@AlexinGreatBritain
@AlexinGreatBritain 5 месяцев назад
Oh I agree that a lot of the county border changes were puzzling to say the least, and a bit unfair on Berkshire! I do feel though that if I included historic Berkshire towns here like Abingdon, Wallingford etc that I'd get a lot of criticism in the other direction.

Apart from 1 or 2 towns on your list , I don’t seem to have the same notion of « pretty » as you !! I can think of many more towns in England and Europe which are 100 +times prettier than this selection !!

@@AlexinGreatBritain yes , but what are your notions of « pretty » ? I just find many of the buildings you show in some of these towns rather bland and ugly , as in many other towns in GB . I am not against modern buildings , but I think that we can be modern and pretty / beautiful at the same time . Many architects today just seem to have no idea of beauty , which doesn’t always cost that more to implement …

@@simonallchin7436 That's a deep question. There are lots of ways in which a town can be pretty. What I will admit is that I don't believe Berkshire scores too high in terms of beauty relative to other counties despite its royal connections. But then it did suffer badly with the county border changes of 1974, losing the likes of Abingdon, Faringdon and Wallingford, but gaining Slough in return!
