Nestled in the heart of West Berkshire, Newbury boasts a number of cultural attractions and fun family activities that are sure to keep you entertained. When it comes to accommodation, Newbury doesn't disappoint either, offering sleek apartments and spacious houses to suit all tastes.
Encounter history
Culture-seekers can travel back in time at Shaw House, a Grade-I listed Elizabethan mansion, and similarly at Basildon Park, an elegant 18th-century manor with 1950s interiors. Distinctive for its imposing castle-like turrets, Highclere Castle is famous for being the home in hit television series, Downton Abbey. A must for fans of the show, it features manicured gardens and opulent interiors.
Donnington Castle, meanwhile, was an actual castle and offers exquisite photography opportunities. For more treasured local history, don't miss the historic Sandham Memorial Chapel, home to 'Britain's answer to the Sistine Chapel " a famous artwork of British war artist Sir Stephen Spencer.
Kids' time
Drop by Eddie Catz where you'll find creative play zones, bouncy castles, and dressing-up areas for your little ones. They also have a packed schedule of daily workshops and evening laser-tag parties for older kids.
Over at the Northcroft Leisure Centre there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a crèche and a soft play area, ensuring that the whole family will get a fun work out. Adjacent to this are the combined Northcroft and Goldwell Parks, home to a great kids' adventure playground.
Nature days
Enjoy the serene local countryside by taking a relaxing walk in the nearby Berkshire Downs. Alternatively, go fishing by the River Kennet, or explore the Kennet and Avon Canal by following the well-maintained cycling route that runs alongside it.
Located in nearby Thatcham, the Nature Discovery Centre is a stunning reserve housing different kinds of wildlife. A busy events schedule means there's almost always something fun going on, while a lovely café, picnic facilities, and playground add to its appeal.
