The twin communities of Sunninghill and Ascot sit within the borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in England, set against rolling parkland on the edge of Windsor Great Park. Leafy streets, large Victorian and Edwardian houses, conservation areas and a compact village high street give the area a genteel, residential feel that appeals to commuters and families alike.
Economically and culturally the area is best known for Ascot Racecourse, home of the world‑famous Royal Ascot meeting - a 18th‑century institution that still drives tourism and local trade - while good rail and road links to London, respected schools, independent shops, pubs and golf courses help make the parish an affluent and well‑connected part of the region. There are also longstanding royal associations thanks to proximity to Windsor, which add historic interest to everyday village life.
