Ascot in Bracknell Forest, England, sits in the county of Berkshire just south of Windsor Great Park. The town is best known for Ascot Racecourse, home of the annual Royal Ascot meeting established in 1711, a major social and tourism draw that has helped shape the area’s identity and hospitality scene.
Built on heathland with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian housing, Ascot is an affluent commuter area with good links to London and the M3/M4, supporting hotels, equestrian services and exclusive clubs; the racecourse and events underpin the local economy while nearby parks and quieter lanes preserve a semi‑rural character.
