Sandhurst is a small town in the borough of Bracknell Forest in Berkshire, set among heathland and mixed woodland on the edge of the Thames Basin Heaths. Its most striking feature is the long-established Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, whose parade grounds and historic buildings give the place a strong military identity and attract visitors when ceremonial events take place. The town sits close to Camberley and Crowthorne, giving it a semi-rural feel while still being well connected to larger centres.
Locally there’s a village community atmosphere, with independent shops, schools and recreational parks, and a mix of families, commuters and ex-military residents. The economy and daily life are influenced by the academy and by proximity to business parks in Bracknell and the wider Thames Valley tech corridor, so many people commute while enjoying the abundant green spaces and community events that characterise the town.
