Binfield is a large village and civil parish in Bracknell Forest, England, sitting on the edge of the South East’s M4 corridor. It feels distinctly village-like despite being close to larger centres such as Bracknell and Reading, and it benefits from easy road links and proximity to green spaces including Windsor Great Park.
The settlement has medieval roots and a mix of historic buildings and Victorian and later housing, reflecting a shift from an agricultural past to a primarily residential, commuter-focused economy. Locally there’s a strong community vibe - village green, parish church, schools, pubs and sports clubs - and the surrounding countryside and woodland help preserve a rural character even as nearby office parks and towns provide employment and services.
