The towns of Ascot and Sunningdale sit in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, close to the county border with Surrey. They lie within easy commuting distance of central London and neighbour the riding lands and deer park of Windsor Great Park, giving the area a leafy, semi‑rural feel despite very good transport links.
Culturally and economically, Ascot is best known for Ascot Racecourse and the week-long social highlight Royal Ascot, founded in the early 18th century and still a major driver of local hospitality and tourism; by contrast Sunningdale is a quieter, affluent residential village noted for its large Edwardian and interwar homes and premier courses such as Sunningdale Golf Club, with a strong commuter and professional population that keeps local services and property values high in England.
