Crowthorne is an electoral ward within the unitary authority of Bracknell Forest in Berkshire, occupying a mix of suburban streets, heathland and pine forest on the edge of Swinley Forest. The area is notable for its proximity to Broadmoor Hospital and Wellington College, and is served by Crowthorne railway station, making it a popular spot for commuters travelling to Reading and London.
